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.

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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

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.

I'm sure the DNC will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Let's get Hilary, she'll know what to do! And Debbie!

My new big fear is not that the democrats will fumble this, it’s that they will not anticipate that republicans are trying to make it so election officials (read: election deniers) can refuse to certify the election. If neither candidate gets to 270 votes, the Republican controlled house picks the president.

I for one would welcome UN election oversight (is that the right term?), it'd be a great kick in the balls to Orange Julius if Biden brought them in

“They brought in foreigners to steal the election!”

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

They're gonna find something to bitch about regardless, might as well give election rules some teeth to nip it in the bud.

I suppose if you assume the worst will always happen, you'll never be disappointed.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hahaha, true. Really though, I am simultaneously energized to vote for Harris and wary of the DNC's incompetence.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're either right or pleasantly surprised. Win win

I admit, I do generally take that attitude with movies. "This is going to suck" works pretty well.
