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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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!

Asking people to give up their lives, hobbies, and anything that brings them joy when they go into politics isn't the way to get quality candidates.

Not going to a football match doesn't mean you have to give up everything that makes you happy.

If that's literally the only thing that'd make him happy, he's got much bigger problems in life.

A quality candidate would be a person that wasn't a football loony.
