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.

Trump already inserted himself into the process when he got his cronies in Congress to kill the border deal.
All Biden did was step up and ask him to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Knowing of course that Trump has no intention of being part of the solution.
This then gives Biden the opportunity to say later, in a debate, or in an ad campaign:
"Hey Jack, we gave you a chance to do the right thing on the border crisis, you rejected it, that's on you. Get your idiots in congress to stop blocking the progress."
Yep, it’s called democracy. Even the guy you oppose gets a vote.
Biden wants to commit Genocide so badly he's gives up on the left and tries to win over Republican voters
Someone remind him that Republican voters will never vote D
Have a bit of a working hypothesis that current GOP and DNC is built around seeing if America is ready for fascism or not yet. If Trump wins, there you go... But the DNC really is starting to look like how the states viewed the GOP before the upfront radicalization in 2016.
I suspect if Biden wins, the GOP will become irrelevant over the next 4 years, and the DNC will fracture into two parties. One that represents the previous GOP, and one that represents the previous DNC with the status quo not changing.
Takes tinfoil hat off
But that's just unhinged speculation. I'm entirely ready to be wrong in hopes of a more hopeful future.
Biden would rather appeal to xenophobic reactionaries about the border than address the concerns from his own base on Israel.
There are no concerns from me on his stance. Let Israel finish the fight..
No, Biden is showing that there is no interest in solving the issue.
Giving trump any legitimacy is a mistake imho, but that's another subject.
And who is he trying to show that to?
Undecided voters, and voters that do care about the border but not nessicarily buy into the maga cult.
I.e. xenophobic reactionaries
Biden s comments give trump legitimacy because he's saying it's one of the largest issues facing America...
When it's not.
And the majority of Dem voters understand that.
So this hurts Biden, and doesn't do a damn thing but help trump because it makes it look like Biden agrees with him after Dems just spent 7 years saying Trump was horrible for this and lying about how big of an issue it is.
Some voters may be stupid enough not to put all that together. But they're the ones that show up and vote the same every election with zero thought about it.
It doesn't hurt Biden at all. It won't change the opinions of anyone planning to vote for him.
The only thing it will do is cause further division on the right. A right-winger now has to choose whether being anti-immigration or anti-Biden is more important.
Biden is not trump.
Dem voters are not Republican voters.
There is a shit ton of human variation and just because some stupid shit work on republicans, doesn't mean it will work on everyone.
If it did, we'd all be republicans.
That's a very basic piece of human psychology. Unfortunately it's a young field and the people in their 70s and up running the Dem party we're already middle aged and done learning before we figured it out and proved it with research
One of the many many reasons we shouldn't be trusting wealthy geriatric people to run our nation.
Correct. He's calling the GOP bluff and forcing them to move on from the border issue, by exposing it as a non issue
Good lord what a dumb move. You are running against an insurrectionist opponent and you give their influence legitimacy.
It's a decent move to expose that Trump does not want work for a solution. he works for the fame
This will neither reach nor influence any Trump voters, only potential Biden voters.
If there's anyone left on the fence, they will see this as Biden reaching across the aisle, a good thing.
Ahahaha no. Biden's can't deal with criticism from the left so he's trying to win over the right, like he's done anything but that in his time in office. This is a terrible idea and empowers trump as a person.
Or it might make some Biden voters turn towards Trump, since it's legitimizing him in some ways.
Do you actually think that could happen?
Yes. At the fringes, there are always voters who can be swayed. This news will reach those voters on the Democrat side, it won't reach the same voters on the Republican side.
Neoliberals are probably as responsible for normalizing republicans as Faux News.
To rationalize why they're better than progressives, they have to say Republicans make "some good points".
