Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I think the unity gesture to someone in person is worth it though

Probably not worth it in the electoral sense, but you know what? I'd rather have a human than a robot calculating the electoral effect of every interaction he has with another person.

This wasn't strategic. It was just human.

Eh. Sometimes people are jacked up on what everyone else is saying, so of he's willing to have a bit of banter with them it really breaks the ice and shows he isn't a bloodsucking satan worshipper or whatever people are saying
