Discouraging people online from voting isn’t campaigning.
Just to be clear, you support campaigning against a pro-Palestine candidate in a race against a pro-Israel candidate, on the grounds of promoting a change that neither one will implement. So you’re saying Palestinians are an acceptable sacrifice in order to make a moral stance which will not actually lead to any change.
Encourage others to refuse to vote for them on moral grounds because they’re evil
From what I’ve replayed in recent years, yeah not great. But it certainly inspired me to question narratives, which has actually been quite beneficial.
Answer the question. Sabotage a pro-Palestine candidate because they aren’t vegan yes or no.
This is a really good shop honestly
That’s exactly my point bud. Instead of trying to consider my point, it disagrees with you so you put it in the BlueMAGA box so you don’t have to think about it.
And no, every BlueMAGA doesn’t say that. They say to vote for their current neoliberal darling. They’re not encouraging you to vote for socialists in the primary.
It’s something rational leftists say to try to convince stalwart ideologues to act in a way that will actually help in some way.
I notice you didn’t even try to address my actual point. How would you feel about vegans trying to sabotage a non-vegan, Pro-Palestine candidate? Are you willing to sacrifice Palestine for a stand on something the other guy wasn’t going to do either? What’s the point? Cui bono?
If you can’t answer that question honestly then you need to rexamine your approach.
Because you’re not paying attention to what I said, and substituting understanding with a ridiculous strawman where everyone who doesn’t agree with you is BlueMAGA.
Primaries are the appropriate time to vote your conscience. The general election is the time to try to secure the best outcome possible between the choices.
In regards to Palestine, there was not a choice to withdraw support for Israel. Vote Republican? Palestine is royally fucked. Vote Democrat? Palestine is also fucked, though potentially to a slightly lesser degree. Vote third party or not at all? A Democrat or Republican wins, Palestine is still fucked. There’s very little difference in the outcomes, so it’s not a useful criteria for making the choice. Sure, you might feel self-righteous for abstaining, but that in no way unfucks Palestine even a little bit.
Since there’s no difference in outcomes for Palestine, the decision should be made based on other criteria: immigration, civil rights, etc. Spending your time online telling voters not to vote for the lesser evil because they’re still evil does not prevent evil from filling the office
Imagine it this way: what if there were a major candidate who was resolute about aiding Palestine, withdrawing support for Israel, and even taking action against them? And what if vegans flooded online spaces to try to convince voters not to vote for them because they aren’t committed to ending meat consumption? Assume that neither candidate is committed to ending meat consumption.
How would you feel about those people taking actions that jeopardize Palestine because the pro-Palestine candidate isn’t vegan? Even if you’re vegan yourself and agree that meat consumption should end, not voting for the pro-Palestine candidate isn’t going to accomplish that. No option is going to accomplish that. They’re just sacrificing Palestine to make a stand on an issue that will turn out the same either way.
I think it’s really useful for getting my bearings when I’m not even sure where to begin on a question. Like if I have no idea what the right terminology is to find what I’m looking for, I can use an LLM to figure out what I should even be searching in the first place. After that I’m better equipped to start doing my own research.
Bernie obviously. Why is that relevant?
Not sure, I haven’t met him yet
A choice I wouldn’t have to make were it not for those who have chosen to spend their time online telling people not to vote against politicians who not only prefer to represent Israeli citizens over American citizens, but also prefer to hunt minorities for sport and erode basic rights.
Everyone makes choices. Sometimes grown-ups are forced to make difficult choices because idealistic children made terrible ones.
Get me in a room with the politicians and I’m more than happy to hold them accountable. But I’m not in a room with politicians, I’m in a room with voters.
If you really want to get your money’s worth it should always end in 8
It’s not even really 5° increments, it’s typically 25°. Ovens can’t really hold temp much more precisely than that, and even if they could you wouldn’t notice much of a difference. 342° is gonna behave basically the same as 359°.
Maybe? It could possibly work, but seems like it would feel derivative.
For a lot of those sorts of products, the expiration date is for the container. The salt will be fine for thousands of years, but the plastic might start leeching into it much sooner. That’s why bottled water has a Use By date.
Reverse image search? If it had a watermark then it’s probably been posted somewhere before. If it hasn’t, then no you can’t really know. You can get a sense for common AI styles and features, but unless the original artist posted it somewhere, in certain cases you’re just guessing.
What do you mean classic? It’s brand new
I want a job that pays my bills and gives me a bit of savings and spending money. Beyond that, I’m hesitant to take on more responsibility, difficulty, and headaches unless the pay bump is substantial. If my pay is below a comfortable level, I’d rather have a raise. If the pay is decent but the job is currently stressful, I’d rather have less difficulty for the same pay.
Granted, that assumes that the job doesn’t frequently experience scope creep. If the stress reduction is nominal before reverting back to pre-adjusted levels or higher, more money is better than temporary relief.
I see you didn’t try to deny anything I said about you using Palestinians as disposable pawns for impotent grandstanding. Thank you, that’s really the only thing I needed to know.
