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.

Yeah good luck with that. In the US capitalism is first and last, it's god, it determines everything. Votes vote against their own interests because capitalism. Way too many religious persons see Jesus more like a capitalistic investor than the socialist heretic he was. If the rich and greedy can no longer squeeze out the poor and vulnerable then america stops being America.
Never going to happen
It's harder to see positive change if you're not looking for it and even easier to hide behind the excuse that you don't see change so why even try. My state flipped blue and our governor is great. That didn't just spontaneously happen it happened because people kept trying. Apathy is just choosing not to help by another name.
Oh I would agree but I guess I just got very cynical with age... I see so many severe problems that are caused by assholes, supported by large groups of Facebook armchair retards that will suffer from said problems the most... I've gotten to the point where I feel like humanity deserves to suffer because it calls it upon itself.over and over.
Lets vote the devil himself for president because we believe in Christ! I mean... What? How?
Climate change is a hoax! Said by so many famous people during the hottest day of the hottest month of the hottest hear in recorded history.... My teeth are grinding.
Let's curb human rights because... Eh.. ah yesz to protect the children! Always claim to protect the children! Whenever you see a bill these days claiming to protect children I'll automatically assume it's to be able to rape children because that's how humanity rolls these days.
Let's invade another country to play land grab and show off to the world how powerful I am!oh fuck, it's fucking up? Well let's continue a full fledge 3 day special operation into day 386something with tends of thousands of deaths because hey, we can't show weakness here now can we?
I've seen too much shit, I've started to avoid the news because it's just too depressing.
Sure it can happen. +60% is a lot of %.
