In 2020, after Bernie was kneecapped by the dems, one of the state dems got on our organizing discord and said something to the effect of "sorry guys, but don't forget to vote dems". I voted Biden and got this. I got a party that refused to govern, who let a single rogue dem stop trillions of dollars worth of programs for what was it, a year?

I respectfully reject the framing that a non-vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. At literally any point, the dems could have chosen a different way. Hell, they could've just NOT eliminated the primary in all but name, but no. They've chosen the undemocratic, unproductive, detremental path we're on. They refuse to own their fuckups, blaming them on conspiracy theories and an American populace that doesn't understand the great things they're doing. They don't deserve votes and, I'm sorry, but I don't owe them shit for what little they've done. We don't know what comes of this in the end. Maybe Trump does win, maybe it's so grotesque that it snaps people in the other direction (cope).

If they lose, it isn't my just fault. It's also theirs, mostly theirs. They've worked long and hard to repress the left. So I'll be here, comfy in my bed on election day, completely repressed.

(And yeah, they are leaking that Biden is an old annoyed boy with Netanyahu. But that's just because they know Biden's committed path is so unbelievably unpopular, but also they don't want to do anything about it, so they "leak" that our senile boy is thinking reeeeeally hard about all this. The US hold ALL the cards here, and every day this goes on is a day Biden is choosing not to do anything about it. So I don't think him not talking to Bibi for a month while still offering unwavering support is a sign of progress)

I get the sentiment, but I don't owe anyone a vote. Voting for the lesser of two evils is one thing when it's someone useless like Obama, but the "good" option is balls deep in a genocide and destabilizing the world in his allegiance to another country. Not voting for the senile genocide guy is the least I can do.

I'll be the first to say it sucks. Despite busting the railway unions his NLRB was doing good shit. It really really sucks.

This is my day! Worm toilets exist, and require almost no compromise. They can use water like a flush toilet or be a bit more rustic. So cool. Real harmony with nature shit and no one cares!

That's because it's Culvers. Jokes on ya'll, their recruiting literature make it clear that workers are family. As long as they're not employees it's all good!

I'm just curious how many Palestinians need to die, and how much of Gaza needs to be razed to dust before we're "even" in the minds of proponents that somehow this war is justified. Legitimately and in good faith, when are we "good" here?

SDA? I used to be one of those😂

Way to make it to the memes guys! At least relevant somewhere!

You're on point despite being downvoted. There are other people who believe that principles should be applied consistently out there. Don't lose heart!

They're not wrong. The Dems aren't the good guys here. As usual they're just slightly less bad. Someone that loves democracy lets a primary election happen rather annointing their chosen meat puppet....sorry, candidate.

There must be two types of cats because mine has never had a food that she didn't fucking devour!

Yeah, a couple of decades ago China was a miracle as western institutions repeatedly redefined the poverty threshold to make global poverty look like it was improving. Back then it was touting the power of the free market, with most of the gains being in China. Now that they want conflict with China, those numbers are no longer good enough. I'm not saying China doesn't have a poverty problem, I'm just saying this is illustrative of propaganda changing the narrative.

Also, if its in human poo it's already in the carbon cycle and so really less of an issue. The problem is bringing up carbon that's been removed from the cycle (subterranean oil or gas pockets) and putting that back into circulation. Granted it would be better to pull carbon out of the atmosphere (somehow), but at least using poo wouldn't be adding NEW carbon. That's my understanding anyway.

As a Iong time ST fan I just way to say, this game was a great time. It was like I was playing through a ST episode, dilemma and all. Sending a ship to warp cinematically was something I never knew I wanted to do, but it was perfect.
