I’m voting party for Socialism and Liberation in November and you can too.
They’re running on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel.
No word on their position with regard to Israel’s war with Lebanon, but I’m confident it’s one that I’ll support.
here’s hoping i showed enough civility to not catch a ban.
Yeah it sucks
Yeah it turns out no one uses them or keeps em pumped up or applies that rubber stuff to em to keep em in good shape so the manufacturers replaced em with “24 hr roadside assistance”.
Im making this reply to help you better respond to people, not to start a fight:
Hey, just a heads up, your cfr link directly cites Adrian zenz, the person many people don’t trust to make even handed statements about China, directly twice.
The vox link sources statements from him several times. I tried to just quickly parse what was what but I came up with seven different statements.
The bbc article seems to reference zenz in six different claims.
I wasn’t able to give these articles a deep read, or check if the other sources also pull from that particular controversial figure or his organizations.
lol that half the comments are libs getting btfo because there is currently a defacto ban on refugees from gaza.
The bolt is a subcompact, the Camry is a midsize.
The Camry is three feet longer, has two more doors and weighs 200lbs less.
A better comparison would be to the Yaris, Toyotas subcompact gas hatchback which weighs between 900 and 1400lbs less depending on options.
Yes and no.
Yes it’s possible. No it’s not scalable or affordable.
Synthetic plastics (all plastics for the purposes of this conversation) are byproducts of the petroleum industry. They’re making gas out of oil and are left over with plastic precursors so those get made into something and everyone wins* because the materials are basically free.
Last I looked we were creeping up on two billion tires a year.
i agree that we need to build trust in the process. I think the right way to do that is to go ahead with a hand count. if they’re conspiring to cast doubt like you’re saying, it’s the way to put a stop to that line of thinking.
be realistic here, georgia was the subject of allegations of tampering last time around and just because of that there will be allegations this time around. it would have been better to prepare earlier but the unserious move is to wait till election night to start the hand tally.
Okay, like I said, there are insane bigots.
What is going on?
there are insane bigots.
I do not see evidence that this group is pushing forward a bigoted agenda in deed.
I am open to being wrong. If you have evidence of it, I want to see.
I don’t think that a hand count in a state whose election results were called into question last time is a crazy move.
I think suspicion of a conspiracy to use a hand count to slow the process down to the point that the election is decided by the house is not a good reason to prevent a hand count.
I feel like I’m missing something critical here, but it doesn’t seem like you want to resolve people’s concerns or build trust because you believe those concerns don’t merit addressing and that it’s not possible to build trust with the people you see as your enemies.
Okay let me get this straight:
There’s a group of people who don’t believe you can trust the elections. They think there’s a big conspiracy to manipulate them and have taken positions in the board of elections in order to make sure it’s done right (whatever that means).
You and others think that theyre the ones involved a conspiracy to manipulate the election, and have occupied those positions in order to further their plot. You and others believe that they’re going ahead with a hand count, the method used when an election is in contention and its results need to be verified, so that the process will slow down and their candidate will be appointed by the house.
You don’t think that trust can be built with that group and that they should be purged from office and the ability of those positions to verify and certify elections should be removed.
You think the best response to a conspiracy minded movement which doesn’t trust the elections and has occupied the positions in government ostensibly tasked with election security and veracity with the stated purpose of making sure there is no manipulation is to force them out of those positions and take away that power.
This is “put battery operated speakers in stop signs that remind schizophrenics to take their medication” level thinking and I’m here for it.
I’m sorry for not replying to you sooner, I couldn’t find any examples of people lying to claim fraud in that article.
I read it a bunch of times and it’s very possible that I missed it, so point it out if you think so.
That’s why I didn’t get back to you till now.
I’ve really tried to not argue from the standpoint that hand counting is ontologically good, but that there’s a reason why in this case, in this election, under the conditions that Georgia is and will be under, hand counting is a better choice.
In a bunch of comments up the chain I say as much and I’ve been trying to stay consistent with that.
I’m really not willfully trying to avoid the point.
I must be missing something. It sounds from all the articles you posted that the crime was covering up payments.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but each of the 34 counts refers to a payment made in an attempt to conceal the hush money as legal expenses. If paying hush money were illegal I bet there would be many fewer out of court settlements…
I guess I don’t take your meaning…
Yeah I’m with you. That line of thinking will only attract support from conservatives.
Not in the slightest.
My understandings is that the convictions were for not keeping records of what he did, not reporting what he did with the money and trying to cover up what he did with the money, not for what he did with the money.
Falsifying business records are the 34 different counts he was found guilty on.
Hey, in case you’re not familiar with it, the Party for Socialism and Liberation is a communist party, not some right wing formation like the tea party or whatever.
So nothing about my support for that party would make me a supporter of trump.
