How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can’t.
I’d vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there’s voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.
Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don’t vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I’ve been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.
If the dems shove it down our throats I’m still voting for him, but there’s still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.
We are growing alfalfa in the deserts of Arizona with water from aquifers, so it sadly needs to be said.
The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.
That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.
American Nations is probably the worst pop-history books I’ve had the displeasure of reading. Its chock full of backwards rationalizations, just-so narratives, and glaring misconstructions and omissions.
Any assessment of modern society based on this author is immediately suspect and we should honestly stop letting him write for any serious publication.
Realistically any Libertarian dedicated enough to show up to a party conference is probably a member of the 1% of the US population that votes for them in general elections.
Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.
So we’re using Bush era torture to justify inaction against fascism? Idk man seems a little weird.
I get voting isn’t enough and half the problem is people often limiting their involvement in society to a ballot once every four years, but I’d really like to prevent The Palestinian Chair from being used on anyone deemed an enemy of the state by a man who is talking about deporting 11 million people.
404 Media is worker owned; you should pay them.
Casablanca. Its a classic.
They’re part of multiple mutual defense treaties, including just being part of the EU. If Russia continues to be agressive, this could well be required.
Idk man, theres not too much debate on who to vote for. There’s a clear lesser evil and theres an avowed fascist. The quoted paragraph just reaffirms what his one sentence says, that voting isn’t sufficient.
I like the pamphet. I think it hits most everything important. If you only vote and the entirety of your efforts are spent on electoralism and not direct action, its a lot if wasted time. But if you cant even take 20 mins to vote every 2 years, or worse you’re advocating people who aren’t fascist sit it out, you need to rethink what you’re doing.
Ultimately, there’s no reason the strategies of voting and direct action can’t both be applied together. One does not cancel the other out.
It’s like you didn’t even look at your own pamphlet. It backs up his exact statement.
Given that this is what their lawyers have agreed to, it would be weird for an appeal.
Friendly fire was half the fun of the first game.
If everyone you know uses secure messaging apps, youre in a bubble; their adoption rate is very small.
Of the people I know, even those who use Signal/Matrix still use Chrome and GMail/Docs/Drive. They have a long way to go before they don prosthetic noses.
Thats obviously from mastodon, not twitter.
