I've had this exact mentality until one day I just stopped eating meat, and generally nothing bad happened to me. It's not like I miss it, I didn't lose anything, there's no sacrifice in my daily life. I just no longer participate in the direct consumption of the product of (still existing and still supported by my work via taxes) the terrible pipeline of infinite suffering, which is something I guess. In the past I've also quit smoking and I can tell you dropping animal products from my diet was much easier. So much, it felt underwhelming.

I don't tend to talk about it, because I know how my "whining" about meat eating would be perceived, especially remembering how I myself loathed anyone who tried to convince me that eating meat might be bad. It's just such a silly thing to defend and keep doing. Just gobble up those beans, man. They're delicious. Leave the cow alone. Organize to overthrow the capital class. Marinate your tofu. Don't be silly. Kill fascists, not the piggies. Come on.

Dems supported Cuomo in Dems primary, and then supported Cuomo as the independent in the race. Only reason Mamdani was able to get to the point where he was able to press that button, was because he fought and won against the Dems. He presses it in an opposition to their plans.

It's not that the politicians don't know what happens when the button is pressed. Most of them have been hired to make sure it's not. Until they're rooted out, no change will happen.

I'd want to say "about a week", but I learned not to overestimate people, so probably 5 days top

"Sustain++" by Mili

Ah. That very much tracks. Disgusting people.

Important context: due to being completely unable to pin anything bad on Hasan, Kleins started suing smaller creators that reacted to the drama videos they created for copyright infringement reasons, and have been openly attempting to weaponize law to silence and censor anyone speaking out agains them, or speaking in favour of Hasan. Both worked hard to undermine number of pro-palestine creators for the fact of being anti-zionist and got them constantly harrased and in some cases banned from the platforms they used to post content. Both are completely despicable, just wanted to point out that in their attemp to attack Hasan they more than welcomed collateral damage and are willing to destroy lives of anyone who would oppose them. Just like their idolized nation of Israel. If they kept their aggresion to Hasan alone, I'd just call thrm wrong, with their sick intent to silence anyone who supports Palestine with lawfare and harrasment, both belong in jail.

Shocked Ethan could pull anyone who's not a honeypot anyway. Man's not well.

I am, despite not being from USA I am following the midterm races from the imperial core because I know their results will affect my life, the way they did in previous elections. This post, and the vast majority of the propaganda spouted by Dems, is exactly that, though. There's more criticism from the estabilishment Dems towards politicians that do make those points, like Mamdani or El-Sayed, than towards their opponents in the White House. And what does most of them do say about their plans in office? How do they campaign? Exactly the way you see here. And don't get me wrong, I want bad politicians to lose and good ones to win. It's good some do have reasonable strategy, they will do better than the dumbfucks who keep blasting that uncommited voters that don't care about politics as much as they've been taught not to care, that just want to get through their hard day of work and worries - that those voters have to to make time to go and vote for slightly less known Epstein associate. It's not even that I want those dogshit politicians to lose, though I can't claim I see presidency of Newsom going better than Trump's in terms of quality of living for people in USA, but probably noticably better for me in Europe. It's just that they WILL LOSE AGAIN unless the messaging capabilities of the propagandists improve.

I know you guys won't, because your job is to convince as many people as possible not to vote after all, but god do I yearn for the day when the Democrats start to appeal to non-voters by other means than "at least we're not as bad as the other guy". If you think that this is an effective strategy, you might just be able to wrestle defeat from the jaws of victory. Just keep letting marginalized folk know that they shouldn't count on their lives improving, because you're commited to doing just slightly better than the opposition. Don't campaign on promises of anything materially better, only on being paid off by the same interests groups as the "other side", except for the fact you're going to keep doing those things they paid you for - but politely. And if you think that the existence of my argument against your strategy on the internet is going to ruin your chances for it working at all, and you're going to blame those arguing against it for your loss while you're blasting the same old points of "we rape and murder arguably less", then BOY can I figure out the results it's going to bring.

Anyone who was going to vote for the lesser evil is going to do that anyway. Anyone who's on the fence will most likely decide to sit this one out (again). Claiming it's someones moral obligation to vote for terrible (but slightly less) people is going to depress votes, exactly as it did with Harris. Change your strategy or lose.

Just fucking... talk about the affordibility crisis and your plans to end it. About universal healthcare. About how Israel is a bunch on genocidal bastards. Just anything other than this proven, time and again, losing strategy. You have a field full of targets and a loaded gun. Only way you can miss is if you point it at your head. Or go further right to win MAGA voters, I guess...

It's not blurred, it's just bibilically accurate spanish teacher. Your mind is inventing the parts it's not capable and willing to process.

Grindr is DEFINITELY a better job searching platform though

Democratic socialism isn't social democracy, it is a system aiming to replace capitalism with collective worker or public ownership of economy. Democratic socialism IS socialism, social democracy isn't.

Yep. 0.0025 grams.
