I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
I'm a trans person. Here's what I'm most concerned about: the dehumanization of Palestinians and immigrants. Biden has gone along 100% with the dehumanization of these groups
how the fuck am I supposed to trust Democrats that claim to support trans people when this is how they support Palestine? This is a president thats supporting an ongoing genocide while persuing draconian immigration policies. Am I supposed to just throw those groups under the bus for my own personal gain?
You've made it abundantly clear that if Biden was pushing anti-trans policies, you'd still support him. You've made it clear there is absolutely nothing Biden could do that would lose your support.
The reason fentanyl is so prevalent is because it's easy to smuggle. The reason it's so deadly is it's hard to accurately dose. Legalization immediately solves both of those problems.
The average American mind really can't conceive of a situation where additional militarization wouldn't solve the problem. Every single conflict. Everywhere there's instability. They can only think of one solution: send the drones/missiles/troops
My Thinkpad touchscreens were useless until I switched to wayland.
The only drawback is I have to manually edit the qgis desktop file to start qgis with x11 instead of Wayland. I had to do the same to a couple other random experimental apps, too.
NOT single-handedly! The IDF couldn't do shit with the evangelicals and trad caths of America propping their apartheid government up. It's important to remember that western, mostly-christian countries created the environment for this genocide. AND the same people have spent decades equating the state of Israel with all Jews.
In other words, antisemitism is as European as Zionism.
Trade routes predate capitalism by many thousands of years. People travel. They trade. They exchange ideas and goods. Communist countries have (almost) always sought to participate in the world economy. Its always been the capitalists who shut down all peaceful avenues for cooperation.
So does communism require a capitalist big brother? No. But every single country exists in a geopolitical context. When the behemoth economic and military superpower 90 miles away spends over half a century trying to destabilize your island nation that was already dependent on imports... It's gonna cause some problems.
Also, just compare Cuba to its peers in the Caribbean and latinam. It does better in some areas, it does worse in others. It's not an outlier in anything, except like medical science where it's always been a leader in latam. The areas where it does worse are usually directly related to the blockade
What does Russia in 2024 have to do with the blockade? Cuba has been trying to peacefully trade with the US for 60 years - even when the USSR provided aid.
The Lula conviction was bullshit/overturned. The better example would be Volsonato being barred from office because of his own Jan 6th style coup attempt
Yeah you're right, genocide is not a deal breaker. /S
