Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

2016 called
I don't think the progressive left is why Hillary lost. Certainly, people choosing not to vote because she was centrist had an impact, but I don't think there were really enough "Bernie or bust" folks to be solely responsible. You actually had a higher percentage of Bernie voters going for Hillary in 2016 than you did Hilary voters going for Obama in 2008.
You had like five different factors and a pretty tight final margin. No one factor was responsible. Comey's letter, Hilary being center, Russian meddling, online misinformation -- all of it is partially but not wholly responsible.
We told you she wouldn't win. We're telling you Biden won't win.
Either the libs open their damn eyes, or enjoy the dumbass orange fuhrer for the considerable future...
Ah, you must be a "progressive" who cares more about being right and owning the libs than actually advancing a progressive agenda. I much prefer prioritizing progressive goals and making progress towards them. This UN resolution is a step, and Netanyahu's petulant reaction to it only makes it more likely that we take more right steps in the future. I'll continue to celebrate those and hope Biden moves in the right direction, instead of scoffing about "how I was right" in 2016.
And for that matter, I seem to recall a lot of "progressives" saying Biden would lose in 2020 and Democrats would be destroyed in 2022 -- yet, i don't see you mentioning those predictions. You've only got 1 out of 3 right there. I'm sure however in 2026, regardless of how this year goes, you'll still mention how you were right about 2016, won't you?
Hillary still got the popular vote, it's gerrymandering and voter suppression bullshit that caused the loss more than anything
Yeah, but Sanders wouldn't win either.
He couldn't even beat Hillary Clinton.
If it wasn't for the undemocratic caucuses, he would have lost earlier.
And before someone says it, it wasn't "rigged". Sanders lost by millions of votes.
The electorate isn't as progressive as the echo chambers on Lemmy and Reddit are.
Just have your passport ready if you've decided to bury your head in the sand mate.
Not stabbing someone is better than stabbing them half way through and calling it a balanced view
