He could have ran on it more. Trump understands the art of putting his name on the checks.
Call Americans stupid, and we are, but I wish the party that was helping people was a bit more grandious and better about messaging then they are.
Also having lots of children is probably the single biggest carbon impact, since youre multiplying your own consuption.
I wont say “dont have any children and let society collapse” but Im also feeling pretty negative about all this tbh.
I think the media doesn’t help, and people don’t talk about how bad climate change is. Everyone buries their head in the sand
Personally, money first. Term limits are fine, but not the biggest problem.
Sam Seder has been saying rhis for a decade at this point.
Its how you build a political movement.
In the past i switched to Firefox for a few days, and the memory usage of google (gmail, calendar) was enough to make me switch back.
This time i did thunderbird too. The memory usage is still bad, but i was able to stay… for now.
In return? Dems have always been for genocide. Joe Biden has been terrible for Israel Paleatine.
Dems are better on this issue than they ever have been (Biden excluded) due to activist pressure, no thanks to Greens.
Pelosi actuall said in March that we should limit sales to Israel. I don’t think people realize how incredible that is.
Also just following the green party a bit and educating your self about them… you learn that the green party is as focused on selfish personal horse race politics that deals with power plays, as the dem party (though on a smaller scale) instead of actual change.
This political cycle, Green party had a chance to radically push the Dems on palestine, by putting up a candidate that would drop out if Dems changed their position on support for Israel.
Jill Stein rejected it.
Just the fact they rejected it shows to me that they’re not serious about actual political change. They just want to be a spoiler. They continue to only run in general elections instead ofnpushing in states.
So I guess i have no home party, but Ill vote for the lesser of two evils still.
But thats fine, because horses dont run on sequestered carbon.
I’m not saying I want us to switch to horses. I would rather we switch to bikes, but we really dont conceptualize the full cost of cars.
Well, youre mostly right about cars, but mostly because we decided to ignore certain costs (climate change).
The way Harris refuses to court her own voting base never ceases to disturb me
Ftfy.
Its not on voters. Voters will do what they will do. Its on politicians who we vote for. Also I will be voting for Harris and also protesting at every event where I can to demand this apartheid and genocide to end.
Primary them in!
Edit: too late for this election.
We can do both. I see what you mean in so far as “washing” like pretending that we fixed something when we really didnt, but I dont see it as a big deal, I mean, like I said elsewhere, I’ll try to switch.
Its sometimes little things in your vocab that cause you to stop and realize how ingrained certain aspects of our culture is.
But yeah, its not a solution. Theres a lot of things like it that you just do because its easy and you can.
I understand, but we can also gradually transition to friendlier terms so that our very white very male tech bro culture can include some diversith.
I’m going to try to make new git branches with “main” instead of “master”, now, and just not worry about it where I can’t change it.
Icinga2 uses it
Databses used to and switched to primary secondary
Code releses use master, develop…
Its all over software still but transitioning
Did it do much for inflation?
I was excited qbout Kamala back when she grilled Biden, but then she got tame, and was tampered down by the Biden admin.
Its Biden’s fault.
