Glad to see Dems are taking the threat of Trump getting into power serious by focusing on issues that their base support:

1. Stop funding and supplying a genocide
2. Packing the clearly biased court so things like student loan forgiveness can pass and all these anti trans and other crazy far right laws get shot down
3. Not breaking rail road workers strikes
4. Banning one of the most popular social media apps

How about we focus on stopping genocide. If you live outside the ~5 states that decide the election then you should be voting for a third party.

Clearly Donald trump wont be any better and that clearly wasn’t my point. To people who are trying to stop this genocide going “The other guys isn’t going to be any better” instead of also trying to stop the genocide isn’t going to convince them to come to your side.

The nose is getting cut off by either candidate in this situation. Biden has pulled strings we all wish would’ve been pulled for something like saving the student debt foregivness but instead he did it to continue supplying and funding a genocide.

If you’re able to please donate, people’s dispatch is matching all donations up to $100k.

Just more evidence the NYT just parrots state department talking points for our conflicts. If people are still taking them at face value after the Iraq war theyre hopeless.

The Wikipedia Article explains the grounds that each of the 6 countries involved base their claim.

Some are based on historical ownership from WW2, others it’s either apart of its continental shelf or within 200 miles of its coast.

Wtf is the point of passing this bs watered down version? It’s basically a strongly worded letter if it’s not demanding an immediate ceasefire. It also has more bs like Israeli prisoners going free but no mention of any palestinians going free? It’s completely one sided.

Just a heads up it’s only available for the following states:

Arizona California Florida Massachusetts Nevada New Hampshire New York South Dakota Tennessee Texas Washington state Wyoming

Fuck everyone that continues to support this genocide.

Really liked this one, the idea and story were great and loved that they kept it in the native languages. Would rather they do more like this were it’s a fairly drastic departure from the usual events.

It’s called the Everyman/uberman sleep cycle depending on how extreme you go and it’s pretty interesting. Tried the Everyman for awhile and it was nice but if you get sick or otherwise mess it up it you basically have to restart the whole process. Also tough to do if you’re not single, once I met my wife I fully gave it up.

Years ago it was but we’ve been pretty solidly blue for awhile.

The meme is that westerners care more that that the people that are seeing their kids murdered condemn the only (while very imperfect) group that is helping them instead of focusing on the fact that kids are being murdered.

I mean has going with the status quo worked for 50+ years (in the specific case of Palestine)? Clearly not? So makes sense they would try something else.

Just because the dems decide not to learn the actual lesson in 2016 means we should just eat shit forever?

Again they understand that for the next 4 years, the thought is after that

Everyone in the comments focusing on literally only this election and ignoring what they said in their reasoning.

Yes they understand if Trump wins it will be worse in the next 4 years. They’re hoping that the democrats realize that putting a candidate just slightly less evil isn’t good enough anymore and they actually need to win votes instead of saying “we support marginally less genocide then the republicans” and that being good enough.

Not saying that’s going to fully work out, but people acting likes that’s crazy aren’t seeing the full picture. At a certain point the democratic establishment needs to be punished for its bullshit lesser of two evils otherwise it’ll continue to do it. Is now the best time? Maybe not but thats a much more in depth analysis than just reacting “oh they must love Trump then!?”

And the US doesn’t have the world’s largest prison population both by number and % of population and it’s HEAVILY skewed towards minorities?

Open to changing my stance but can you back that up? I see ~0.5 million from excess deaths from just the Iraq war which is put on GWB. There’s more I’d say he’s responsible for too thats just the top thing.

Wouldn’t count deaths from starvation due to famine entirely on a ruler considering the shape the country was left in post Korea war thanks to the US but even if you tried to largely attribute that it seems pretty close.
