Young voters are moving toward Harris and feeling less ‘meh’ about voting
  • Fundamentally I agree that only we can change the system.

    But she doesn't seem nearly as pro Israel as Biden and Trump. That makes a huge difference. I can hold my nose to vote for a corporate servant, but "less genocide than Trump" wasn't a compromise I was willing to make.

  • can we be all rich together?
  • Obesity used to be a sign of wealth, and confer higher social status. So oligarchs would be introduced as "the biggest, the fattest, the most corpulent of them all, Richie Apartheington!"

  • Biden calls his decision to step aside from 2024 race a matter of defending democracy
  • He didn't think he'd be pressured out 6 months ago. He's obeying popular opinion that shifted after the debate.

    Someone here compared it to convincing an elderly parent to stop driving. They're not heroes either, it just sucks for everyone that nature works this way.

  • Biden calls for justice after footage released of police killing Black woman
  • The status quo's second best friend is directing our efforts towards strategies that don't work.

    I think we should vote only for candidates who oppose FPTP. If you don't think that's likely to work, then you're a defeatist!

  • Republican calls for ‘civil war’ if Trump loses
  • If we have another civil war, we can learn from our biggest mistake too.

    Finish Reconstruction.

    We can accept their secession, conquer them, and then keep them as territories. During that time, we can enact policy that helps all Americans. Restore fairness standards in news reporting, wipe out the KKK, pass a voter's bill of rights, tax churches equally, replace FPTP with IRV, and abolish the electoral college.

    If we don't address the brainwashing, it'll happen a third time too. They can have a little bit of authoritarianism if they want it so much.

  • Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way
  • I still do that all the time. I work with a bunch of different computers and it's easier than sending a file or writing the info down.

    I get that there's device to device file transfers, but it's slower, and other employees would undoubtedly fill my phone with garbage screenshots, if not virus furry porn.
