Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Sure. Totally fair. We could do better than Biden, and I'm sick of voting lesser of two evils since the 80s. (Stupid first past the post voting and electoral college system are largely to blame).

Also, I'm insanely sick of the deliberately obtuse trolls trying to split the democratic vote. These are the ones insisting we teach the Democrats a lesson and who ignore any argument to the contrary as if Trump and Project 2025 didn't exist. Nobody of legal age can possibly be that short sighted so I assume it is a psyops campaign or some shit. Makes me reflexively downvote any "but Biden's genocide" type comments especially when they're out of left field as above.

Right. Criticizing a president who is standing by during an active genocide is splitting the democratic vote. Ignoring the fact that a split implies there is a choice.

Not what I'm talking about.

What are you talking about then?
