And then Democrats convinced Biden to not run for a second term. Sounds like the party did in fact listen to the voters’ will, and that’s being reflected in the excitement that we’re seeing across the board.
And you know what? I wish Republicans made backroom deals. I wish they recognized Trump was a significant threat and aligned to go against him.
Until Stein vehemently recants her remarks about WiFi causing cancer, vaccine skepticism, and nuclear fear mongering – or the Green party completely disavows her and those remarks – it would be a total waste of time.
It isn’t my job as an engineer to tell “the only voice in politics that supports the science of climate change” to stop endorsing completely anti science positions. Nor is it on me to try and correct a willfully anti science party. They need to show good faith, and they’ve done nothing whatsoever to suggest any of that to me.
I’m afraid all of us don’t have that much free time. But hey, if you can get them to stop being anti science and actually become a serious party, I’ll consider them.
Just don’t expect me to accept the Green Party’s many imperfections. If you don’t accept the Democrat’s imperfections, then you should perfectly understand.
You get it! We can’t fuck over vulnerable people. We can’t abandon minorities and LGBT people. Even if we let things get worse to the point of a societal collapse, a lot of people will die because of it – and societal collapse has not historically led to better societies down the road.
Lmao the green party isn’t going to do jack shit. They’re completely unserious about politics. They aren’t even trying to build up an infrastructure in all 50 states that lets them get suffused into local and state politics. They aren’t even aiming for Congressional seats, which would be necessary for an actual Green president to get anything done.
They’re just anti science grifters who think wifi causes cancer, entertain vaccine skepticism, and demonize nuclear energy – the latter of which could be a major asset to stopping global warming. Newer designs are even able to consume nuclear waste, meaning an anti nuclear position results in more waste than we would otherwise.
Makes me wonder actually how badly this’ll backfire. Students are inevitably going to ask their teachers why death penalties exist or other things like this.
I know that’ll never happen. That’s why I said it’s an ideal that won’t happen. What I’m talking about is picking the candidate who’ll kill fewer Palestinians and may listen to reason, over the one who’ll crush any dissent over the war and urge Netanyahu to continue.
This isn’t about Biden or Trump, at least not directly. This is about trying to save as many Palestinian lives as possible, assuming you actually care about them and aren’t just using them for political points.
The ideal situation is that the war ends and Israel completely fucks off. But the ideal solution is not a viable option currently. One candidate is keeping the status quo while criticizing Israel, or and the other candidate wants to intensifying the bombings and attacks on civilians and praises Israel.
Forget the names behind the candidates. Are you truly telling me that there’s no difference between these two candidates, and that one option does not kill countless more Palestinians than the other option?
Yep. A Tankie is someone who claims to be leftist but then defends all actions by governments and countries who claim to be leftist too.
Lae’zel was just like,
“You smell like battle. I can smell the blood and sweat all over you. I saw you massacre those goblin children and tear their heads off. I want you to fuck me here and now.”
Yeah they’re fucked. New moderation will never work if the users don’t support it. And judging from the comments, they definitely don’t support it.
I too choose this man’s hydrohomie
And look how far that went. How Bernie was still unable to turn out massive numbers of young people.
It’s absolutely incorrect to say that voters are blameless. Bernie had a platform that was the dream for young people, and they didn’t show up – and I say that as someone who was 24 at the time and did vote for him in the primary.
