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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

This. And a jury has already voted him guilty. Multiple times.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 22 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

And the American public has decided a rapist is better than a woman, multiple times.

30%.

Don't spread misinformation.

He’s not wrong though: 30% decided a rapist is better than a woman, 30% decided rapists and women are equally bad and they don‘t give a shit who wins.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

No, they literally didn't decide.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

They made a decision. To sit on their ballots. They decided that living under Trump's ass wasn't worth getting off their own.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Bullshit.

Obama, Clinton, and Harris all received about the same number of votes. Trump received about the same number of votes all three times. The only anomaly was Biden getting a ton more votes.

Either Biden got all those extra votes because he's a white man, or Biden got all those votes because a bunch of people who don't normally vote decided Trump's handling of Covid was dangerous. If it is the second, then all those extra people who don't normally vote made a choice that Trump was good enough now that Covid was over. They made a choice. They decided. If it is the first option, then the point still stands that voters decided a rapist white man is better than a woman.

W H A T - D I D - I - S A Y ?

I'm not. 30% decided not to vote, therefore deciding Trump was better than Harris. This is not debatable.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

No, they literally didn't decide.

For the 5900098325893^th^ time, Harris lost because of her platform, not her gender.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No matter how many times you say it, it doesn't make it true. When a woman runs against a known rapist, felon, racist con man and loses (twice!) yet a borderline demented white man wins (with essentially the same platform), it is much more likely that voters are misogynists than "because of her platform".

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Biden only managed to win because of how Trump fucked up COVID. But since voters have goldfish memories, it didn't hurt him again four years later.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago

I disagree that a woman would have won in 2020 because of COVID.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works -2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Just a reminder, Trump won election against 2 well-qualified women and 0 men. The platform of the meh man who beat him was not essentially different from that of either woman.

And yet, 5900098325894 times, some guy on the Internet has insisted sexism had nothing to do with it.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Your argument is just shit liberals tell themselves to try to excuse the failure of their ideology.

Why do you love enabling fascism by refusing to make common-sense reforms to help the working class?

It's also telling on yourself that you resorted to falsely insinuating sexism on my part. Shame on you.

Well in fairness, the first time a woman lost to him he hadn't been adjucated to be a rapist yet....

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

But had bragged on tape about getting away with sexual assault.
