politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

No policies yet...just straight up attacks?
Governments are dum
60 seconds, and did you watch?
Policies listed: addressing gun violence, women's bodies, child poverty, healthcare, and treasonous traitors.
Just wait for the next 60 seconds!!
i don't like this kind of interaction, i see it all the time. We read the articles and watch the videos to gather more information, to get the details, but article/video titles shouldn't be misleading, it totally hints that that's what all was about, and there is plenty of characters left to mention otherwise
I don't like it either, but blame the article and editors, not the OP/commentors.
True, but /c/politics does not require using the original title 🤔
@[email protected] Would you consider editing the title?
OP seems to have pulled through, now mentions a few seconds on legal woes rather than implying the whole thing was about it.
Cool - Thanks OP!
I’m mostly just annoyed that the top comment got away with slagging the video as being an attack video when it wasn’t.
I don’t blame OP at all; it was just a trash headline from ABC.

OP reply comes through a bit condescending, despite clickbaity title.
Yeah you are right, and the full video reference is a couple clicks in. Another lemmy commentor linked the youtube video directly which helps relieve the confusion which you identified.
It's nobody's fault but your own that you did not actually watch a video or read an article. Don't watch/read, don't comment. Easy. The title isn't deceptive just because it isn't a perfect TL;DR for lazy internet forum users.
if you expect readers to do their homework, then writers should also do theirs
Lemmy's a fucking news aggregator, amongst other things.
Author your own fucking posts if you don't appreciate mine.
Fucking whiners.
the comment you just posted is the whiniest in this whole thread
Sorry for your loss.
thank for changing the title btw
cheers
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this title. It's not clickbait and it accurately describes the content. You're just upset you got caught out saying reactive, incorrect things about a video you didn't watch.
the title got changed, this is not the original
Sorry for your illiteracy. Education for people like you is a policy of hers as well.
