World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Not voting for Biden is not a vote for Trump. Telling people they shouldn't vote for someone actively supporting a genocide is not telling them to vote for Trump. If someone does not vote for Biden it is a failing of the Democratic party. A leftist who does not vote for Biden is not effectively giving a vote to Trump because they were never going to vote for either.
The liberal fear of the Republican party and specifically Trump is what allows the Democratic party to move further and further right. The Democratic party will continue to move further and further right until it's only campaign strategy is that they aren't as bad as Republicans. It's already happening
Yes it is, full stop. I'm not having the idiotic argument with you so don't bother.
No it isn't, no matter how much you lie about it, the math doesn't support you in the slightest. A third party vote is equivalent to not voting at all, which is not voting for Trump. Fucking arrogant liar.
Show me your plan to get 51% of the electorate to vote 3rd party and you'd be correct. 51% of the electorate will not vote 3rd party, so you are 100% incorrect. A vote for 3rd party, in reality, is throwing away your vote allowing the candidate who is polling higher a better chance at winning.
"Throwing your vote away" isn't a vote for Trump, it's equivalent to not voting at all, which is exactly what I fucking said. I don't even know what the point of your comment is. Just arguing with me because you're butthurt that I criticized your boy?
Alright well I won't vote for Trump instead, that's basically a vote for Biden
I don't doubt you're stupid. But you understand basic arithmetic. There must be a reason you pretend not to... Gee I wonder why
Maybe I'd understand if you explained it to me, how does not voting for Biden become a vote for Trump but not voting for Trump doesn't become a vote for Biden? If I voted third party would this be a vote for both or against both? Could you write out this arithmetic for me?
Genuinely curious, I don't understand what you're trying to to say. I'm not playing stupid
Any single vote lost for Biden allows the Trump voters (who don't give 2 shits about genocide in Gaza) 1 less vote against their guy, which in turn makes it more likely Trump will win. First Past The Post is a winner take all thing. There's no 2nd place in politics.
Has Biden considered not supporting genocide then? He'd get a lot more votes that way. Politicians should bend to the will of the people not the other way around.
Besides Biden hasn't "lost votes", he just hasn't done anything to earn them other than not be Trump. I wouldn't count a vote he never had as a vote that he lost

Even if Biden does get elected it's just adding a few more years to the clock
Interesting how even when it's spelled out you reject the premise and pivot back to your talking points, regardless of how true the original point is
At least I now understand what I'm arguing against. If anything I shows I'm consistant in my beliefs.
You said blank and I said please elaborate on blank and when someone else elaborated for you I said I disagree with that because of blank and then you came back to make a short quip about it bc that's the only only thing you do
No you claimed you didn't understand something, then immediately discarded the explanation when it was given.
As I expected, you already understood and you were simply sealioning
I did not immediately change my opinions after hearing someone explain their perspective so I must be disingenuous.
I'm sorry you go through life thinking like this :/
You didn't bother to attempt to address a good point. But it was obvious you wouldn't so no surprise
Basically, vote for my guy or your an ebil person. /s
Trump is polling higher than Biden, so no. Abstaining from voting is the same thing as voting for the more popular candidate. You need to learn how your country's electoral system works.
Bullying people into voting for your candidate is not helping, and potentially could be hurting. Unless, maybe that’s your intention.
Telling people I know they are lying might be helpful.
