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.

Oh, so you mean he's president for life.
Yeah, in the same way that Franklin D. Roosevelt was, because of his popularity.
I support term limits but this ain't the argument you think it is.
Are you under the bizarre impression that no one ran against FDR? Because otherwise, that's a completely different situation than the "why would anyone bother" one you just presented.
FDR exists in a two-party state where two parties must run candidates every single time.

Look at the map... they might as well have not run.
There is no law saying that any party must run candidates or that there must only be two parties.
Is it that you are intentionally obfuscating or are you really that ignorant about how things work in the American political system?
I never said any such law exists. I don't know what point you're making... another candidate in the running that had no chance to win? Should I care that vermin supreme was also running?
What you really need to demonstrate is that the elections in china are rigged/unfair, that's the only way to really move forward in this conversation.
In order to do that you need one of two pieces of information:
Your words:
This is false. No party must run candidates.
And now you're claiming you didn't say what you just said, which makes me suspect you're just here to troll.
I really don't see why this matters at all. I feel like you're trolling me. I didn't mean must under threat, but must under tradition. Why do you care?
What you need to move this conversation forward is one of the following
If you can provide none of the previous i don't know why you're talking to me.
Yep. You're trolling. Maybe don't do that when you come back tomorrow.
