Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

MODERATORS
Even if we ignore abortion and only look at what Thune is talking about, suburbanites would still be stupid to vote for them.
Economy? Republicans will cut taxes on the super wealthy and screw over everyone.
Jobs? They'll cut regulations that keep me safe at work.
Cost of living? They'll subsidize fossil fuels more, and screw everyone in the long run. They'll probably just lie about everything else.
Public safety? They'll give cops more money so cops continue to be shit while being paid more. And/or they'll toss more people in jail without providing any sort of treatment which will make the whole situation worse.
The border? They'll waste money to build some stupid wall and prevent desperate people from seeking asylum. Plus, the border "situation" does affect the vast majority of Americans.
Unless you're an evil billionaire cackling in your hollowed out volcano, voting Republican is voting against your best interests.
