World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

One such review of evidence of what I'm saying that contradicts your argument:
https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/
Too many logical fallacies in your comment to reply without losing your attention span but I'll try.
Eligible voters were removed, the link proves it. Quasilegal because it's a gray area in the law, here's litigation against the practice but only in some states and inconsistently, hence "quasi": https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/mass-purges-are-new-voter-suppression. Not controversial: a strange lie, of course it's controversial, most people don't believe your argument. People didn't want to vote for Trump in China/India, that is more relevant than your argument as I've said before you circled back. No one cheated: false, again.
If that evidence is unconvincing, what evidence would you need to see to convince you? Would any evidence convinced you or do you choose to believe without caring about reality?
This doesn't prove anything. As a voter you have responsibilities to keep your information current, to vote at the correct location, if voting by mail it is your responsibility to fill the paperwork out correctly, to send it by the deadline, and to sign it. Democrats lost all 8 swing states, states run by Democrat and Republican administrations. If you need to tell yourself you secretly won then you do that just like the Repubs of 2020. You lost move on.
What evidence would you need to see to convince you? Would any evidence convinced you or do you choose to believe without caring about reality?
If you read the article it states information was not updated, or information was submitted last minute, people didn't fill out their info correctly, and wasn't mailed by deadline. Look i understand you need to believe you secretly won and the other side cheated. It's cool you just go with that.
That is pants on fire false. In many cases ballots were rejected for no reason and had to be recast. Democrats and especially Black people were affected disproportionately, why do you think that is only the case in 2024? There is evidence of this being instructed to GOP party leaders as a strategy. And even if true, do you think it's "fair" to make an all black community stand in line for 3 hours to vote because you removed mail in ballots? Does this not meet the definition of "chest"?
You've dodged my actual question 3 times so I win this argument by default. What evidence would it take? You are arguing in bad faith because the answer is none. Look I understand you need to believe you won and your side didn't cheat despite the evidence. It’s cool, you just go with that.
First the question was did Republicans cheat to win the 2024 election? That was your claim not what is fair. If you ask why voters didnt vote they will tell you themselves that they did not want to, not that they couldn't. Nothing disputes those facts.
You win the argument. I concede that 2 plus 2 indeed equals 5. By rejecting any evidence, not actually refuting my points and making up your own logic, your argument is identical to 1+1=3, therefore proving 2+2=5, which is what my first question was. Up is down, you win the argument, and Republicans didn't cheat. I applaud your bliss and ignorance, sir.
I hope you take this opportunity to seek the mental health counseling\treatment you so desperately need. Perhaps you can share all your mathematical equations with them. Good day to you sir.
That is one hell of a way to lose an argument, oof. I thought it was fitting that you were gaslighting a false narrative until the very end. Definite grade school bully vibes. 10/10 would debate again.
