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.

Well, approximately half did.
Best to think of the USA as a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde type of entity.

Isn't it like 2 thirds between the parties and one disenfranchised third
Voting wise, yes-ish, but the disenfranchised people tend to hold opinions from one side or the another anyway, and just don't bother to vote (which is another completely different problem), plus there's a few with third-party ideas and fewer still with a 'let it all burn down they're both aholes' mindset in there as well.
The OP was judging based on the voting results (which these days are very 48-50%/48-50% splits), but condeming the whole population, voters or not.

Yes. Voting splits can only be considered for the voter turnout and not for general statements of the rest.
Looks like China got their "World Power #1" badge early.
US just threw it all away. Even Peter Dutton (right wing opposition leader) has been alluding to Australia building its own nukes since we can no longer trust the USA for anything.
Every country should have their own nukes unless they want to become another Ukraine or any other country the US invaded.
And there it is
SBRICS? BRICSS?
Europe might have learned their lesson from the second Russian invasion. Slowly building dependencies and then cutting them overnight with China is too costly even for capitalists.
ELASAAN? (Europe, Latin America, South Asia, Australia, and New Zealand?
BRISCS
