News
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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
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. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Centrists sure get mad when they think people are following the example set by their legislators.
I'm not angry and I'm certainly not a centrist. All I wanna know is what you're doing to justify taking the moral high ground. Seeing an obvious problem (the DNC is a dumpster fire) doesn't get you points with anyone.
If all you do is post, you're just noise. Do you participate in any kind of direct action? Do you volunteer? Are you advocating for anything, or are you just venting?
Hmmm. Let's see. I didn't repeatedly vote to support an apartheid regime that is actively committing genocide. Democrats did. I didn't cast the deciding vote to double child poverty overnight. A Democrat did. I didn't vote against raising the minimum wage. 8 Democrats voted with Republicans to make sure the workers they hate continue to suffer.
If I'm noise, ignore me.
It's not like anything I do will be enough for you. I've been down this road before. The reply is always an indignant "is that all?" You're trying to shift blame from the elected officials and party leaders with whom it actually lies to one individual who has the temerity to criticize. If I'm not using every waking second and every penny I earn in a fruitless attempt to steer the party leftward, you will use that as an excuse to demand my silence regarding the rightward shift of a party that is hell bent on becoming the Second Republican Party.
You don't care in any event; you just want permanent silence of all voices to the left of party leadership.
That does it, I'm voting Democrat!
