People are uninformed. The reality is that they vote incumbents when they feel good and for change when they feel bad. And, in the end, winning the voter base means being the best at propaganda and swaying how people are feeling. Unfortunately, even if you want to do the right thing, you still have to win people over with propaganda. Pushing for good policy that’s too complicated for the average person with the attention span of a small rodent to follow doesn’t work. Its why Trump always gets crushed in the debates and still wins elections. People literally think they’re voting for the economy which is a net positive for everyone and that Trump doesn’t mean the hateful stuff he says. That’s how good their propaganda game is.

We don’t even have to think the dems are morally better overall and above supporting genocide. They just don’t want a full on war with Iran and increased tensions with Saudi Arabia and for this reason would harden on Israel before letting them annex the west bank which will inevitability lead to regional war. Thing would not be going this way with Kamala as president. Anyone who did vote for her out of protest is very privileged not to live in the West Bank. It’s time to call our representatives to push back on Trump expansionism in Israel. But I don’t have much hope at all.

Trump won. Sadly this means he was the better candidate. Which damning for the Democrats because he’s dog shit.

Because its more realistic that the GOP is a wolf and telling the sheep straight up it will eat them. Then the dems would be a bear saying it will become vegetarian if elected. Sure, a bear will eat a sheep if given the chance, but is more likely to sustain its self on scavenging.

Something something if I had to pick a Republican or a bear, I’d pick the bear.

I’m not an expert, but I had an expert explain that an unlocked boot loader is only risky if you think someone nefarious is physically able to get their hand on your phone. Is that true?

Could be. I worked at a diner with a credit card minimum, so lots of cash.

Those people already aren’t paying taxes on tips. When I waitressed, I reported all of my tips and ended up owing so much at tax season. When I complained, everyone asked me why I was reporting my tips.

If genocide is a red line for voting than every citizen who has voted within our life time would have crossed it. Our whole political system upholds genocide from local to presidential. A red line and acceptable are not actual synonyms like you are inferring. I do things I don’t find acceptable all the time because they are better than the other option and its less acceptable to allow the alternative to happen. I can have gencodie and fascism in america or just genocide. Neither is acceptable. One will happen whether I make a decision or not.

No.

There is no red line. Things change. Society and humanity isn’t static . what was acceptable in the past isn’t anymore and what is acceptable now was not in the past. I am not an absolutist.

You do what you think will functionally lead to the best possible outcome now.

In this shit universe you have to be pragmatic sometimes and pick the less fascist person to prevent even worse fascism. Nobody like it, but here we are.

I’m far left. Anti capitalist. Anti authoritarian. But, there are groups on the left or masking of leftists very heavily pushing people not to vote for joe biden in the upcoming elections. They, whether real leftists or not, are not just protesting. I don’t love joe biden. I didn’t even vote for him the first time. I knew he would win my state and voted 3rd party. But mass rhetoric to protest vote for no one or someone else risks leaving us with donald trump.

Our whole system supports genocide. America supports genocide. We need to go deeper than biden to address this issue.e

Right? Who eats this much fiber and then can’t poop…

I dont think they were hostile, just matter of fact. You’d get a similar recommendation over at reddit. You have control of your feed.

I mean, the Russians competed with the US space race at a much lower budget. Privatization of this stuff wasn’t necessary to make it cheaper. The US government is just particularly inefficient with spending at times.

Ohhh, I go between Europe and the US a lot and own one of these. Hopefully this means US companies will offer more support for the fairphone 4!

Society needs to codify these rules into law though otherwise bad actors break those rules. When a right wing activist supreme court removes these protections, people get hurt. But, a store like this isnt doing this to hurt people, it’s to make a statement that the far-rights own discrimination can backfire on them. It’s a form of protest and a statement, not true bigotry. Its like using the flying spaghetti monster tactic to push legislation to be more strict on religion. These people are trying ro show that regulation on business to prevent denying goods and services is important for everyone, not just minorities the the right hates.
