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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You guys need to get over this knee jerk reaction that any criticism of the "moderate" party is an existential threat that will move the needle over to the "death" party. The person you're replying to didn't say anything remotely like what you're suggesting.
Yes your republicans are materially worse when they're in power, and you should do whatever you can to keep them out (I'm no accelerationist) including voting for their opposition.
But I honestly think that yes both sides do in part contribute to this fall into fascism. Obviously I'm not saying that there are no progressive elements among the democrats, but y'all need to be able to have these conversations about what to do about the chuds in the democratic party, in addition to voting.
Did you see my last response to them? It addresses what you're saying, I think
I don't disagree with you or then. However, within the context of what's being said what are they trying to do? At best, they're hijacking the convo when it's not really relevant
(P.S. basing this on memory of the convo, didn't go back and reread everything)
I see what you're saying. Yeah we're all three on the same page, but bad actors out there trying to get people not to vote muddy the waters.
