Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

OK but my question still remains: where is the line for you? Because I think it's fair to say that he would want to make abortion illegal, abolish sexual education in its current form, and let terrible things happen to the environment because he doesn't believe in climate change.
Those things are apparently not enough for you because you still say he's the best candidate. Maybe you disagree, but I think it would be terrible if women lost their right to a safe abortion or if children wouldn't receive sex education.
Why not cast a voto en blanco? Just because other politicians are worse doesn't mean you have to vote for Milei.
You say Argentines aren't stupid and I agree. Americans and Brazilians are also not stupid. But how did far-right populist presidents work out for them?
I'm not saying the current politicians in power are good, but why support this asshole just because he opposes who you oppose?
The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend, it could just be another enemy.
He has actually commented on all of this manners, about Abortion he said he personally doesnt care, but he's an advocate that the pass of the law was done against the People's Will (as I previously mentioned) so he'd call a Referendum on the law to revalue it and of course it will be the people's will if it dissapears or not.
Climate Change? Sexual Education? For sure his views are problematic and I do not support his beliefs on that, but HELL MAN. People is DYING here either lf hunger or injustice, we need those fixed AND HES THE ONLY ONE WITH PROPOSALS ADDRESSING THOSE. Current government has FREED PRISONERS OF RAPE AND ASSASINATION because "they may die of covid in prison" Im sure as shit not voting them. Whatever he passes thats shitty we can fix later
There's no clear limit, absolutes are never good, but id say being shitty as a whole is a reasonable limit
Edit: Adding to why not cast a Voto en Blanco, is because in Argentina the final election percentage of votes dont count Voto en Blanco, meaning that the total amount of votes thats part of the percentage is tinier the more Voto en Blanco there is, which means actual votes comform a greater part of the percentage, this results in Voto en Blanco giving more election power to actual Votes. Here is a saying that "The White Vote is a Vote in favour of the Most Voted" and it is technically correct. Due to the people that live off the government there will always be votes for them no matter how bad they are, if everyone for Javier Milei decided to vote in white instead, itll just make the other candidates percentage of vote grow not only making them win, but als look like 60% of the voters chose them
