Bystanders have a duty to step in.

Michael Moore called Trump a Molotov Cocktail in 2016.

Project 2025 is going to reshape the federal government. It is structured as a new constitution. It defines the roles and checks/balances of various government agencies at greater specificity than the constitution.

We need to produce a progressive counter constitution that promises something better.

Project 2025 is a specific deal with America.

We need a better offer, and the people need to trust that the person running will enact it.

Kamala isn’t “getting the wrong ice cream flavor” compared to Trump.

She is still genocide, racism, incarceration, transphobia and the rest which you call Trump.

She just sugarcoats it.

The sugarcoating does make it palatable, but a palatable slavery to the rich is still a slavery to the rich.

I don’t want a country run by a few guys getting rich off of bombing and incarcerating.

I didn’t do it, but I respect holding back in this election to demand a better option in the next one.

I hear the next election will be the most important and pivotal ever!

I hope the choices won’t be corpo trash and fascist dictator.

… My actions of voting Harris? My actions of working to get others to vote?

It’s time to build a real alternative to America’s legacy of settler-colonialism, starting at a local level.

After the French Revolution, they arranged the seats in the legislature with the most progressive on the left, and the most conservative on the right.

This left-right axis is often still used in modern politics.

On the American politics version of this spectrum, “liberal” defines those in the center who are in the middle and who accept whatever they are given. Leftist progressives fight for a better future.

What’s he gunna do with Cheney’s bunker under 1 Observatory?

He can spy on everyone’s couches at once!

He paid for Ukraine’s StarLink connections that he shuts off when Musk feels like it, and the incoming president who will shut off aid when Musk feels like it.

Ok, one side says it with actions, but the other says it with actions and words.

That sounds like one side being honest.

Drillin’ Joe was sure acting like it was a hoax!

I voted Kamala, but I understand sitting out.

It was the promise that he could be negotiated to the left.

Instead Joe gave us a country producing the most oil and gas in world history, no movement on healthcare, etc.

The weather is going crazy because of the increase in fossil fuels Biden presided over.

He broke the deal that he could be brought left on economic/environmental/medical issues.

Kamala promised more of the same.

How can you expect anyone to trust the same deal from the VP that the P didn’t make good on?

Joe didn’t deliver, and Kamala didn’t promise anything new.

Four more years of wildfire.

That’s Japan, not Elon.

The article says Trump directly. Read the interviews and about his new campaign office in hamtramck.

Fantastic resource, thanks for sharing

Good point, they probably focused this press release on the content of this initial dataset.

Except not.

Harris isn’t a subpar meal that makes you sick for a little bit, but you’re fine in the long run. She is the candidate that will feed us today while kicking the can on bigger problems down the road. She’s the delicious tapeworm pork. She’ll keep the economy and war machine running so Americans can keep leading their comfy lives on top of the world for a few more years before collapse. This prolongs the damage caused by the petroleum state that we call America, which accumulates into massive climate impacts.

Trump is food poisoning that is a lot worse in the short term and for America specifically. Another Trump term is likely to lead to civil war and/or national collapse. America focusing inwards may be better for a world that America has been terrorizing and holding hostage with its massive military. America is funding genocides and producing more oil than any other nation in history. America has spent this century positioning itself as an enemy of habitability. If you realize that your survival threatens the world, shouldn’t you choose the poison for the good of others?

I suppose it all depends on how long we have until a collapse and ensuing paradigm shift under Harris (a short time will encourage me to vote for her) vs how dangerous the senile old man will be before we can overthrow him and build a new country. Harris is promising too much stability for what we need to replace; Trump is promising to be senile and easy to overthrow.

If Harris wants me to vote for her without hesitation, she needs to tell me how she plans to shut down the fossil fuel industry and the evil war machine. Trump is promising to run them stupidly and dangerously, and the ensuing damage may be better than keeping the planet-killing machine running. That’s the horrible decision of this “lesser of two evils” approach. I’d really rather vote to responsibly shut it down, but my options are either live comfortably while it destroys the earth or shove this stick between the spokes and hope that the damage of crashing is less bad than if we keep going.

That said, I already voted for Harris, because that’s where my judgement lands on this question. But it’s a serious question that needs careful consideration from everyone. This is a big and important election. Everyone should think very carefully and weigh the options. This is NOT an easy decision, and anyone who thinks it is has been drinking the kool aid of one side or the other.

In four more years, my judgement may land differently.

Ok, but what if it’s a choice between those moldy potatoes that are poison vs undercooked pork that’ll give you tapeworms like RFK Jr’s brain.

Surely the latter is the “lesser evil”. You get fed today, and maybe your immune system keeps you healthy tomorrow. Still a risky proposition!

But you could also demand that the pork gets cooked longer by adding some progressive policies like not supporting genocide, demilitarizing, and investing in a clean environment. I’d say that’s worth protesting for. Be a Karen, ask to see the manager, and demand your pork is cooked properly.

You don’t look happy as the past year closes. I don’t wish you a happy birthday this year. Too late. I wish that at the end of this year, you will be happier rolling into your next birthday. Good luck.

Yeah, I gave up reading at

it’s a shocking reminder that there are forces outside of the internet that still affect our digital lives.
