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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Which is all the more reason to have a massive write in campaign for him.
Those who do not lust for power, are those most suitable to be burdened with it.
I get what you’re saying but that’s cruel as fuck.
I think that job would kill him.
Something tells me electing a fucking mentally declining nazi with a hitler fetish is just a skosh more cruel.
Fair point, but I'm talking about the cruelty to a man who does not want the job.
It's not that cruel. I get what you're saying and agree a little. But if drafted into the job, I think he'd be proud to serve his country and the world.
I think it's not just the main part of the job he doesn't want. He doesn't want to be the center of the media storm. He doesn't want his years of testicle jokes to end up harming the country. He doesn't want the job of begging for the job.
And the main job would be a duty he'd serve, not a fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
If the circumstances are right, I'd consider writing him in. If there wasn't a more important vote. Honestly I should have done it when I lived in Maryland.
