2. No spam or reposts + limit off topic comments


Spamming posts will be removed. Reposts will be removed with the exception of a repost becoming the main hub for discussion on that topic.

Off topic comments that do not pertain to the post at hand may be removed if it is deemed they contribute nothing and/or foster hostility at users. This mostly applies to political and religious debate, but can be applied to other things at the mod’s discretion.


3. Post must have Antiwork/ Work Reform explicitly involved


Post must have Antiwork/Work Reform explicitly involved in some capacity. This can be talking about antiwork, work reform, laws, and ext.


4. Educate don’t attack


No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.


5. No Advertising


Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information


Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines


If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format “Original title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion


Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties


Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)

We demonstrably got Medicaid Expansion and pre-existing condition protections when we gave them 59 votes in 2010, would have gotten Single Payer if we gave them one more. We haven't even tried to give them those numbers since.

lol. Temporarily got back the barest minimum of protections and a handful more people made destitute by our system are no longer completely excluded from healthcare if they jump through the right hoops. Great, democracy wins! Except when it doesn't. "just one more!!" "vote harder!!!"

Being unpopular doesn't stop the Republicans. It's always excuses with the democrats. Always the voters' fault they can't get anything done, even when they run bad million-dollar campaign after bad million-dollar campaign that demostrably turns away voters and are very careful not to promise or even mention the things you are promising, but trust me!!! They're gonna do it this time!!

Of course, why would they say anything else or take the time to correct you? It would be terrible PR, they would lose their loyalists! And then everyone will have no choice but to vote for Republicans!!!! ^(third parties are not viable and don't even bother showing up for them until our beloved party members remove FPTP which is definitely going to happen in the foreseeable future)^

When will you stop making up excuses for the Democrats?

man i love the irony in these rage posts.

It's always such good memes.

Got "back" ...?

Got it for the first time. The purest most primal form of society is not one where all medical is covered by the government and all conditions are protected, that is a system we create for ourselves by voting for legislators who will enact it. You can try saying "voting harder doesn't work" when we actually try it once.

Was the unpopular candidate winning with a historic number of votes in order to get Trump out not enough for you?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, not even close, we need a democrat supermajority in congress to pass stuff. I don't like it either but that's how it's been for longer than I've been alive.

And look where it's gotten us.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It literally hasn't existed, so the fact that it's lack of existence isn't getting you places kind of proves my point.

Holy fuck learn how to read dude 😂 keep going after that carrot!! You're gonna get it someday! Whether it's so old and rotten that nobody else wants it by the time you get it, it'll be yours!!!!!
