News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Fuck your good that includes making sure your children are wage slaves while your taxes slaughter children in Palestine. That's not good, you just don't give a fuck that the people YOUR TAX DOLLARS slaughter for your comfort are far away.
Who’s your perfect candidate? If there’s someone better I’ll happily back them.
There is no perfect candidate because both parties are actively fighting progressivism. What you do is hold your nose and vote for the one who won't try to eradicate anyone they don't like from the country and then show up to your local democratic party/club every meeting they have and be actively pissed off at the lack of progressivism. Bitching on the internet does nothing, trying to argue about the best candidate does even less.
Make it known what you want in your community and build a coalition in agreement
I agree. I’d just like to hear from the poster above if there’s a single politician that meets their standards, or are they just giving up and using this line of argumentation to justify their own lack of action.
Spoken like someone who is happy with the status quo. Whats your set of ideas champ, since you are all throwing these stones, lets see your answers, beyond sitting on your rear?
Go ahead. You do this to everyone else, lets hear your ideas.
Of course I’m not happy with the status quo. I plan to vote in the primary for the candidate who best matches my own values. I don’t know who that is yet.
All I’m seeing in this thread is arguments why we shouldn’t vote for this person or that, and not a single person willing to say there’s a candidate good enough that they’d bother to vote. I just want a fucking example of what good enough is. I’d vote for AOC or Bernie despite their flaws, but I’d love to have even better candidates to choose from.
You can't elect a perfect candidate from two fascist parties. Step one is to realize you don't owe them a vote, and they must give you a viable candidate before you give them your vote.
The Democrats are not your friends, you're letting them ruin the world and describing it as good.
I’m doing nothing of the sort. All I’m doing is asking you for an example of a candidate you think is worth voting for. Doesn’t need to be a democrat. Just anyone.
