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, 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.

If tearing down that ballroom is the very first thing President Newsom does, I'll be overjoyed.
If President Newsom becomes a real thing, I will end my life.
Please dont let any neoliberal have that much power over you.
You shouldn't let any politician have that kind of power over you.
You could put literally any of the worst people in history in charge, and I won't be killing myself. I may not survive, but it won't be me killing myself.
Please don't harm yourself
I don't want president Newsom. I want food and healthcare for all. I want taxes for billionaires. I want sustainable energy, not more fucking oil.
Newsom is a corporate shill. He will make things worse for the people of the United States just like he makes things worse for the people of California.
He isn't perfect, but I wouldn't say he makes things worse for us, Californians.
But if we get out from this we need another FDR not another corporate Democrat.
I don't want him either, but we may have to vote for him anyway. He's the Next One Up
Speak for yourself.
It's not a foregone conclusion. Fight a little harder for your life, please, you're taking us down with you.
They're going to guarantee Gavin just like they always do: run a bunch of other candidates who are going to pretend to want the job, only to throw it and all endorse the Next One Up at the last possible moment before Super Tuesday. (I call that "pulling a Klobuchar").
I hope I'm wrong. But I've seen a few of these now. That's how I think it will all go down.
It's the pre-pre-pre-defeatism here that's the problem. Please go outside.
Honestly, you may be right. But treating it like a certainty only makes it easier for them. We should be highlighting better alternatives.
Harris, Newsom, Shapiro are out for me, they're pro-Israel. Ossof has accepted contributions from Israel. Pritzker was an AIPAC board member.
It is very difficult to find candidates without ties to Israel: https://www.trackaipac.com/2028
AOC would be my pick if she runs. Khanna would be my second choice.
Go ahead and make your list by whatever metric you want. Use the Primary as your platform. But don't be one of those people who disengages if someone who doesn't meet your standards gets nominated.
If those other folks are too pro-Israel for you in the Primary, that's fine. But if it goes to the General, and it's Newsom or Shapiro or Ossoff vs. Some MAGA loser, don't use it as an excuse to sit out. Because if a bunch of people who found excuses to not vote for Harris has shown up instead in the right zip codes, and Harris was President right now, everyone would be much better off, including the folks in Gaza.
Sometimes, there are just no good choices, but not choosing is worse.
I would be willing to bet my house that he would never do it. Once trump is out the establishment dems will trip over themselves (and dead kids in Gaza) to restore decorum
Misspelled Ocasio-Cortez.
Ocasio-Cortez.
Thanks, I misspelled Ocasio-Cortez.
the White House East Wing Restoration Project, headed to a presidential race near you!
Yep. Imagine how many corks will be popping if/when that happens. :)
Even better will be watching the people who at that point will probably be pretending they didn't vote for donnie and never really liked the guy trying not to say anything. :)
