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.

Voting doesnt mean shit.
Assuming the numbers aren't straight up fake and red team didnt cheat at the last mile.¹
Assuming everyone who wanted to got to²
And most people weren't so demoralized by every option that remotely represented them or ehat they wanted be ratfucked or blatant lies that just flipped and did the same old shit anyway³
You still have a shitty system made to disenfranchise people by choosing aristocratic proxies rather than members of their communities, keeping them alienated at every step from the actual decision making that effects their lives.
¹you'd have to be dumber than a box of disposable hammers
²delusional, bigoted or both
³have you talked to an american this century? Just read a history book?
Why do you have a bunch of unnecessary sourcing notes with no sources? What’s with the little ones and twos?
They're called foot notes¹, and while most often used for citing sources¹, they can also be used to include tangential or repeated information without breaking flow, as demonstrated here¹! Also for comedic or other effect.
¹you fool!
Yea I’m aware of foot notes. But you have no notes.
And they’re not comedic.
That obe was an example, and the one you originally commented on was jot meant to be. Was just keeping flow.
