Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

meanwhile at the DNC:

hmm it seems our side didn't win over enough moderate conservatives. next time we simply need a few dozen more gop politicians to endorse us and find a white man who will make campaign ads more overtly racist than trump's the-democrat

Next election they'll run the newest version of Pete Buttigeg: An angry soccermom with a queer son and a thot daughter and a husband who runs the local HOA. The mom works for raytheon and she owns a large amount of those metal cups.

She's going to have a Harry Potter bumper sticker on her oversized SUV to try and seem relatable to the voters. Not because she's really into Harry Potter, but because some campaign advisor said that a "My cat is a Ravenclaw :3" sticker resonated the most with 3 rounds of test audiences sourced from a strip mall in upstate New York.

Also she will exclusively be referred to as "the mom"

That’s just it, they haven’t learned anything so they aren’t going to change anything… it’s literally going to be the same exact people from the last debates they were willing to hold. The same Pete Buttigieg, not a newer generation lol
