Don't get me wrong -- the NYT losing money is always a good thing, no matter what
i'm terribly sorry to inform you, but the NYT is NOT, i repeat, NOT pro-Biden. Never has been. Trump generates headlines, clicks, whatever...NYT wants chaos and Trump.
What even is the meaning of this comment?

Liberals: "Ah, free speech and free press. A good publication."
Liberals: "BOYCOTT THEM, DON'T BELIEVE YOUR LYING EYES, EVERYTHING THAT DISAGREES WITH ME IS PAID OFF OR PROPGANDA. FAKE NEWS! IGNORE THAT WE ARE ACTING LIKE REPUBLICANS!"
The survey showed that 41 percent of partisans agreed that simply winning elections is more important to them than policy or ideological goals, while just 35 percent agreed that policy is a more important motivator for them to participate in politics. Only 24 percent valued both equally or expressed no opinion.
This is from 2015, but it explains so much. If anything, 35% seems like a bit much for people who are primarily motivated by policy. Maybe it's gotten worse since then.
NYT has been on something for a long time. People made fun of how fawning they've been over conservatives in the entire MAGA era until they've gotten to this point.
Anyone is welcome, not just leftists, but these are the guidelines:
- No oppressing other users (bigotry is oppression). This includes not using the r-slur (or any variation thereof).
- No defending oppressive systems such as capitalism or the US "democracy."
- No uncivil or rude comments to other users (politicians and capitalists are fair game).
- No ax murderers, serial killers, neoliberals, torturers, cops, cryptobros, debatebros, or similar.
- Discussion, not debate. It's okay to ask someone to elaborate on an idea, but most communities shout down leftists and post-leftists, and that's not supposed to happen here. This includes especially "whatabout Trump" on posts criticizing Biden.
- No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities such as IDF, ICE, the US prison system, or likewise.
- Transphobes eat my ass.
- These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and prevent the constant trolling of leftists and post-leftists that happens in places like reddit and Facebook. Follow the spirit of these guidelines.
If you are here to learn, then welcome! Remember this is not a debate hub. This is a place to share and learn.
Other than that, feel free to share memes, text posts, articles, or other things you find edifying and helpful.
The main reason I started this is because I know it's hard to have a discussion in non-leftist spaces without constantly having to stop and explain fundamental ideas, so I hope this will give a space and a voice to anyone who's felt frustrated like me.
