Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

Being able to win a primary does not equate to be electable. It just shows party preference. To be elected the candidate needs to be preferred by all voters.
Smart parties pick the best endgame player.
Like a sports team winning early games in a national competition, that doesn't mean they are good enough to walk away the champions.
Overall fitness, excellence, and likability must be considered vs the other opponents on the final ballot.
No, let’s pick the most polarizing figure we can find and try to win Texas that way.
I've already voted for Beto multiple times. On the political scale the man was luke warm and because of ego and funding, we got jack shit. Give me the most milquetoast dem candidate possible so I can actually have a chance here. Beto fucked up one interview. Just one. And we are still recovering. I'll take the most basic ass bitch dem over "revolutionary" any day of the week in regards to Texas politics. Because the boring one may actually have a chance. This is not a paradigm changing situation. Hell I'd take newsom over here in Texas. And I fucking hate that guy.
Beto was never viable (anti-guns, doesn’t know how to talk about religion). I also found him repulsively fake.
Talerico is an authentic, sincere left wing Christian. He’s a threat to the entire Republican order. If he says he’s not progressive it’s to distance himself from pronoun weirdos.
But this one person I know said he thinks he'd like to have a beer with beto. I didn't realize that was something people really considered when choosing who to support - I thought it was metaphorical.
Am I a pronoun weirdo?
