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.

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.

I didn’t even have to look at the username to know who posted this.
It wasn’t good enough to get downvoted for posting this on !politics@lemmy.world a few days back, it had to be done again!
I mean, some of that is also on people who don't post stuff. Like, if you don't like what someone posts but don't post stuff youself...it's not likely that they're gonna change what they post to fit what you want.
This community has 16k active users. If each active person on here posted one article a month, it'd be innundated in content, like an average of a new post every two minutes, day and night.
EDIT: I just submitted my next seven months worth!
That would be great, then I wouldn’t need to post 10 articles a day here and I wouldn’t have to always sort by new.
I mean you don’t need to lol if you don’t enjoy doing it then don’t
You are free to post quality content, too. Gallup is one of the best polling institutions in the country, it's pretty hard to post better quality polls.
How did they do in 2016?
Just the same as they always have. But they don’t do election polling if that’s what you mean
Good. Maybe all these posts of me ringing the alarm should wake you up to do something about it. It's Gallup.
Exactly what are we supposed to do about it?
Get really stressed out until you can vote in November, duh!
I forgot about Jimmy Carter!
So that’s three presidents who were more popular but only had one term since Dwight.
