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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

It's Pennsylvania. Who says they'd listen at this point?

This is to make them seem moderate so they have plausible deniability when they end democracy in the very near future

This is what I suspected about the Dominion voting machine lawsuit.

Are the Republicans the good ones? I dunno this stuff, am iuropean...

Republicans === American Nazi Party

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They're our Reform UK, our Rassemblent National, our Fratelli d'Italia, our Fidesz – arguably our AfD at this point.

Answer: no.

[–] kiku@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago

The AfD might be to the left of the American Republican party these days (and not because the AfD has gotten more progressive).

[–] compostgoblin@slrpnk.net 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t say either party are the “good guys”, but the Republicans are the worse of the two, and it isn’t even close.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 3 days ago

If anything, the closest we have to "good guys" in US politics would be the Bernie Sanders - AOC wing of the Democrats.

Even the most "progressive" Republicans are still backwards thinking bootlickers - "small government" and "states' rights" to enforce their narrow world view.

Gop are flooding the system to overwhelm infrastructure and news cycle and scotus is throwing a few less meaningful breadcrumbs out between outright atrocities to try to build plausible deniability.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Why doesn't it end with "to erase legal opposition votes"? It's the AP....
