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.

Because the primaries are over. The rest is polling which is a private exercise, not even a semblance of oversight. The democrats had a chance to speak and they spoke 90% in favor of Biden. There is no do-overs in the process.
Take a look at the UK and post-brexit remorse. Sucks, but once you vote you accept the consequences.
Gotcha, so the will of the people doesn't matter to you, optics does. Can't think of a more worthless way to view politics, to he honest.
The will of the people has been heard in the democratic process. The people chose Biden when it was time to choose. If the will of the people doesn't matter to you (or whatever CNN says about the last poll is more important than election results) I can't think of a more worthless way to view politics...
The people didn't have anyone else to choose in many instances, and not every state had a primary. The DNC basically skipped the process. The will of the people is important, that's why I want the genocide to stop and Biden to be swapped out.
If you again care more about making sure the genocide continues and harp on people for not being as willing as you to support genocide, then you may be a monster.
I'd like universal basic income and a green new deal too, but none of those is going to happen.
Those primaries that took place, Biden won 90% on average. If no one else ran, that's on America, it's a clear way to make a decision, and it's just as binding.
"no genocide" is not on the menu. We've been protesting in Europe against America's continuous genocides for decades. You have dnc genocide or rnc genocide. If you reject dnc genocide you made your choice.
Yep, not with the Right-Wing DNC.
"Of the small number of people allowed to vote, in a Primary controlled by the DNC, Biden won." That's not the will of the people.
No genocide is on the menu. The DNC can stop the genocide, which they won't if they feel comfortable in their chances of winning. Or, Third Party, both PSL and the Greens are anti-genocide.
If greens winning an election is what the left in the US thinks is possible, no wonder Trump ends up as president.
More possible than the DNC winning with a rotting corpse pushing for genocide against the right's messaiah figure who survived an assassination attempt. Neither are likely. The most likely win case is swapping out Biden and stopping genocide, as much as you hate those options.
I love those options. I also love a pot of gold, a unicorn and a flying carpet.
