Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You're still throwing your vote away.

Even if I accept that any state is really as solid blue as people may think, we have the opportunity as a nation to cast an overwhelming vote against fascism. That would be sending a message that the entire free world could be proud of. Nah, you can't be bothered. You'd rather cast your vote for a Putin asset.

I'm voting for the Green party, not a fascist.

That would be sending a message that the entire free world could be proud of.

The entirety of the United Nations except the US and Israel has condemned the massacre in Gaza as a genocide. You think everyone would be proud of voting for someone who intends to continue to ship weapons to Israel?

You’d rather cast your vote for a Putin asset.

No proof and regardless this is bigger than Jill Stein, this is about building power to the left of the Democratic party. Claudia De la Cruz would definitely be my preferred candidate over Stein, but it is what it is.

She literally sat down with putin, and you're whatabouting some bipartisan shit.

What time is it, by the way?

[–] rocci@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your candidate is touting the support of the man who engineered the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses, and Republicans in general rolled back abortion (which is going to cost the lives of many women) and are against climate action (which is going to completely fuck over future generations, if not the current ones).

Please explain to me how throwing them a bone is going to make things any better. They're extremist fuckers and Democrats should have a bold progressive plan instead of throwing them a bone.

But go ahead, continue to vote shame instead of taking a long look in the mirror.

Seriously, fuck Dick Cheney.

Welcoming support from the opposing party is the same as killing women through legislating health care. Gotcha. What time is it where you are?

[–] rocci@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

If you can't see that we have real problems in this country that neither party is solving, you need to get a fucking grip.

I'm done with you, you're the one who decided to engage on a days old thread.
