I think thats an over simplification.
Disinformation is part of it. Also leftist voters feel disempowered (they shouldn’t, but they are). And voters often don’t understand the politics behind good policy.
Its been shown that if dem policy were presented, then voters would overwhelmingly support it.
Maybe voters are more left than dems, but don’t like dems fundamentally, because they have no backbone.
Post civil war, the USA should have imposed rules that enforced integration.
They didn’t have the will, and now we reap the consequences as a nation, to have the south still stuck in the moral degradation that comes with dehumanizing a portion of our population to the point of enslavement.
No, trust but verify.
Idk why that makes me foolish.
Maybe, I think people still “know” its going on, but they forget by the allure of our smart phones, so this is a good reminder.
Ok. Touché
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.
Wow. Im sorry that happened to you.
I had a rough middle years in public school, but the teachers were always supportive, and I cant imagine not having that while students were bullying.
Even more so encouraging it…
I’ve reached the bottom of these comments (for now)
Well, if cars dont cause climate change, AI will.
Why is your username blue?
Edit: sorry. You’re OP
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.
Most people dont split ticket, but thats because no one campaigns split ticket… if people did it more it might happen more?
But I also havent heard these republicans endorsing Harris campaigning for Republican Senators.
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).
Primary them in!
Edit: too late for this election.
How would I find thia drama?
Everything you say might be right.
I think its perhaps a bit overblown…
But how do you plan to fix this? Go around and talk to each voter? No, let’s think about why they became the way they are. I guess we could talk to voters that are disengaged and learn why. We could see what systems are in place so we can change them.
That seems more productive to me.
