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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more "leave it up to the states" bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

How can you make the claim that she changed her mind? Believe actions not words regardless of who it's coming from.

Actions she can't take until after January 20th? How do you expect people to do that? Or are you really trying to claim that since she hasn't issued a public apology, she's definitely lying and hasn't changed her mind?

I didn't say I expected her to legalize it right now nor am i looking for an apology. You're mocking the other poster and claiming "she's changed her mind" without any evidence apart from a basic statement from her that could prove to be completely false for all we know (which was the whole point of their comment).

I'm not mocking anything. The person I responded to said:

If she actually had a change of heart, she should apologize to the nonviolent victims she chose to prosecute and incarcerate.

That's what a different user said not the top-level commentor, which is who you were replying to when I replied to you here (though I made a separate reply to you in a different chain so I understand the confusion).

It would've been cool if she said this when she was actively putting people in cages for weed.

It would've been cool if she said this for the past 4 years while she was VP.

Now she's saying it for an election. I'm sure she's legit this time. lol.

How dare someone change their mind! We should definitely teach her a lesson she won't forget and be amongst the 3000 people who who vote for Cornel West in November!

You're right. There is confusion. Because you quoted me saying something else in a different conversation thread and claimed that was when I was mocking the person. So you need to make up your mind.

Regardless, sarcasm is not the same as mocking someone. It's a criticism of what they said.
