World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

So you agree you made a mistake. I'm sure would like to blame the previous elections
Maybe you were manipulated. Maybe you just couldn't see the danger.
Maybe you were part of the problem; telling people Harris was evil
Made a mistake in what? Your statement makes zero sense.
You're either ignorant of the past or intentionally omitting this same exact scenario playing out the last several elections, while continuing to proclaim that the people who lost these elections were the "best option." You're trying to gaslight everyone into ignoring their own eyes when hindsight makes it very fucking clear that these people were some of the worst options evidenced by the fact that Trump was elected president again and Democrats lost control of every branch of government.
I'd love to see you point out some examples of actions Harris took to demonstrate the importance of defeating Trump. Was it when she spent weeks courting Dick Cheneys endorsement? Was it when she attacked immigrants? Was it when she stated that nothing will change from the current unpopular president's (that she replaced halfway through the campaign) policies? Was it when she told the working class that they're idiots for complaining about the economy because some numbers on a graph were higher than they were before? I'd love to hear what she did to court anyone's vote to ensure that she would win over Trump.
voila
and you use these excuses to get trump elected
you seem strong and yet all these ideas got the most evil candidate elected
how do you explain this
You use these excuses to continue to do absolutely nothing other than opening your mouth and having unelectable candidates fed to you. I want change, and you want more Trump and Republican control if it means things stay exactly the same.
The "most evil" candidate got elected because the Democrats didn't put up any opposition and allowed him to take the seat yet again. Protecting Israel and the wealthy were more important to them than the American people and democracy.
I can see at this point that you don't really have any legitimate response and are just falling back on repeating what you've already said, so have a good day.
i look forwqaward to our next converstatopn
you said something about Harris i like
are you awRE OF BLADE RUNNER
