More give doctors the right to treat their patients

Mildly fitting though. "Ecological collapse is imminent; please buy more products."

Exactly. It's the apithetic and doomer non-voters that are the real issue in US elections. Voter turn out is usually abhorrently low.

People can have all the fights they want about third party votes for president and other high offices, but third parties have great potential to make local/regional change. Sometimes it feels like people forget there is more than just a president in this country.

Ignoring that genocide is beyond the scope of this meme, both parties are complicit in providing aid to Isreal, who is the party actively committing genocide against Palestinians. It's important to recognize the difference between not giving a shit and recognizing something can't immediately be done about a situation. Gaza is not on the ballot in the United States and won't be until more left leaning individuals take power in congress. This process starts at the local level, and years before an election is held.

But its good to know that the genocide of my people is less important than the genocide of others. The perspective that two genocides is just as bad as one is absurd. Again, being able to believe that the party of liberals and the party of white nationalists are both fascist parties indicates a level of privilege or insulation from living under a fascist regime.

One of these parties actively campaigns and passes legislation to block my access to health care and wants to make my existence in public illegal. Their supporters regularly say people like me need to be beat or murdered. I have had this happen in person, to my face, by a family member.

The other party actively tries to block the harmful legislation and passes protections for me. Their supporters are at worse indifferent to my existence but are often supportive of my navigation through my struggles.

To be able to ignore these differences and put words in other other minority's mouths shows an extreme level of privilege.

Not all leftists are tankies. This is a pretty standard take on the failures of capitalism.

I'm very skeptical of the actual benefit of something like this.

The 6GW system would be made up of pairs of cables stretching about 3,500km across the North Atlantic.

I don't see much benefit unless this becomes cheaper than the cost of building and running the equivalent generation (about two large plants.) Ohio's data center load alone is projected to increase by about 4.5 GW by 2030.

If security was your top priority, surely decentralized microgrids with widely dispersed battery grid storage would be much more effective?

I'd say so, and it seemed like that was the way the industry was trending about 10 years ago but it seems like the large data center demand stalled that considering some of the facilities could use their own generation plant. Plus, the United States already has a precedent of substations being taken down by gun toting idiots.

Are there any better alternatives? Ace hardware doesn't participate in the Coporate Equality Index either, and TrueValue only has a score of 50 while Home Depot is 45.
