Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Choose the lesser evil, support more palatable candidates in future primaries, work to reform our elections so they are not first-past-the-post, encourage one's family/ppl just like them to put pressure on their leaders to end intifada and make concessions for a viable peace.
Choosing the greater evil is a terrible idea and it won't work out well for them.
Choosing the lesser evil put them in their current situation. We're talking about ENTIRE families, multiple generations being killed and ppl are asking them to toe the line with no possible repercussions to Democrat's.
I fail to see how anything could be worse than your entire family, culture, and country/home being turned into a parking lot. Except all that happening and ppl telling you it could be worse
The Biden administration is encouraging Israel to show restraint, minimize body count, and target military targets. Trump would relish punitive bombings that target civilians and Israeli annexations. He's already said he's bringing back the Muslim ban. If there's still people that can die, land that has yet to be turned into parking lots, and freedoms to be lost, there's plenty of good reasons.
Working to usurp Biden to aid Trump is the political equivalent of suicide bombing; if they carry out the threat it will certainly damage them more, but they're taking the rest of us out with them if they don't get what they want.
Yeah and the bombings of hospitals, mosques, civilian neighborhoods and the 17000+ dead really show Bidens hard work.
That's what it fundamentally comes down to. The selfishness that defines America. They're suppose to suck it up and fall in line for Biden because the opposite outcome takes you down too. The ppl ultimately responsible for voting in Trump are ppl that vote for him. If you want Muslims and Palestinians to vote maybe your argument shouldnt be the guy not killing your family is so much worse, you're so stupid.
And for the record I'm not calling for a boycott on voting but I'm not going to demonize Palestinians or Muslim Americans for sitting out this election.
And the people who stay home or waste votes on candidates who are not viable. Can't ignore the realities of our system.
Yeah cuz the urgings from Biden are helping so much lmao
Perhaps encouragement from Trump will be more effective.
