No, but:
-
It will build enthusiasm and make it more likely for people to actually go out and vote.
-
It's the fucking right thing to do, and I'm glad to see a politician stand for it.

That was the moment I realized he was either going to be Tony Stark or Lex Luther.
And then he goes and proves me wrong by being worse than ever imaginable.

Stein refused to call Putin a war criminal, so yes. There is no anti genocide vote.

Invest in renewables?
I work for a green hydrogen production and supply company. Our financials are not amazing. If she cut a check for even a few $100k that would go a long way.
It's time to stop bringing awareness to climate change, and to actually start addressing it. If you're passionate enough to throw soup at a painting, you're passionate enough to get job training to help operate renewable energy sites.

And stealing from other people's works. Don't forget that part

Third parties have gotten over 5% before. How'd that go for them?
It's clear that the current third party strategy of advertising via presidential runs is an abject failure.

It depends a lot on how the pagers are distributed. Is it a batch that was carefully delivered to only Hezbollah members? Is that where all the pagers from that batch went?
It's not like the pagers are stamped with "for Hezbollah only". I'm concerned how they were all distributed.

You've proved the point then. If Cobb's strategy was followed, the Greens would be in a far better position.

You actually bring up an excellent point here -- the Green Party should be throwing everything they have at places with RCV. Yet, they're not. Those are the perfect races for them to win, and they don't give a shit.

So why are disbanding NATO and stopping aid to Ukraine even policy positions of hers? Shouldn't she be focused on ranked choice voting and healthcare instead?

Stein said Russia wasn't entirely at fault for the war and their invasion of Ukraine. She refused to condemn Putin in a recent interview, with an independent progressive journalist.
You're supporting a lesser evil too. You just don't want to recognize it. And in that regard, yes, people who vote for Democrats and recognize their imperfections are morally superior.

Do we really have to explain the difference between public officials who work in foreign policy and directly represent the United States, versus private citizens?

You're carrying water for people who say Russia had no choice but to invade and that Russia isn't to blame for starting the war.
These candidates are excusing Russia's actions and not assigning proper culpability to the genocidal, imperial Putin regime. And you're going to vote for them?

Good thing then this is an opinion piece from a publication, and not something from Harris?
If Stein voters are offended by an article that a journalist writes about how ineffectual the Green Party is, and they blame Harris for that, that says more about the voters than it does anything else.
Namely that Greens will blame everyone except themselves for election losses.

Maybe they should take some of the money they spend on Stein's vanity run and instead use it on their Congressional races.
When's the last time you saw an ad for a Green Party candidate? Or saw a candidate holding rallies in your state?
There's plenty of local and even state positions where Republicans run unopposed and Democrats don't even put up a candidate. Why aren't Greens investing in those races? Those are literally the perfect opportunity for Greens to start making headway.

I agree, but they probably could've worded it better. The pagers were meant for Hezbollah but that doesn't mean they exclusively went to Hezbollah.
You'd think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans...
First off, terrible headline. The "ruled by men" is totally unnecessary and biased. Second, there are certainly much worse events going on in the world right now. This is hardly the most important. It's an interesting article though about how some women feel in China about government policies and how they're meeting to discuss feminism and women empowerment. It's disappointing to see that the Chinese government has adopted a similar stance to US Republicans.
This article is absolutely infuriating. I'd like to say I'm surprised to see people with such vitriol, but this isn't a surprise.
Edit: It looks like the argument here is that the US is not calling for an instant ceasefire, but instead saying that one is very important to have. China and Russia say it should be immediate. The US also tied it to hostage talks. Another resolution is in the works to call for an immediate ceasefire, but the US is expected to veto it because they believe it could endanger hostage talks.
This is an excellent article. It follows an Israeli peace activist and a Palestinian peace activist who work together with a group that believes communication between Israelis and Palestinians is paramount to having a peaceful resolution. What it does really well is highlight how the two of them talk past each other and don't realize it -- one of them makes an innocuous comment, and the other thinks it's something bad but doesn't speak up necessarily. The article also provides really good perspective on how misinformation and fog of war are affecting the conflict. It highlights situations where Israelis are lied to and shown selective news, and where Palestinians are lied to and shown selective news.
The article has a fantastic line about how Johnson's views are so out of step, even the majority of the conservative justices on the supreme court don't champion them. He agrees with Thomas, and Thomas is exceptionally unique in just how insanely conservative he is. As a fun bonus, the article also has quotes of him praising Trump, if you ever wanted to see the moral bankruptcy of evangelicals laid completely bare to see.
He still refuses to budge, even after Republicans were eviscerated on election day for abortion. They're going to keep getting hit for it until they can rein in true believers like Tuberville.
This is a fantastic opinion piece by Sanders that lays it out the situation before the Hamas attack, the current situation, and what should be done. He lays out several requirements for peace that aid to Israel should be contingent on. He also notes that Hamas is hurting the Palestinians, which is a detail very few mention. He's also one of the first people I've seen try to take a stab at what a lasting solution needs to be -- two states, Netanyahu ousted, Hamas destroyed, foundations of Palestinian civil government created.
The article provided a good overview of the situation and firsthand accounts, plus marked up maps. The maps make it clear just how ridiculous their claims are. It's like a modern "manifest destiny" philosophy.
Democrats won 56-44 in a NH district which Trump barely won in 2020. Encouraging news!

In short, we aren't on track to an apocalyptic extinction, and the new head is concerned that rhetoric that we are is making people apathetic and paralyzes them from making beneficial actions. He makes it clear too that this doesn't mean things are perfectly fine. The world is becoming and will be more dangerous with respect to climate. We're going to still have serious problems to deal with. The problems just aren't insurmountable and extinction level.
Ohio is having a vote in November to decide on if abortion will be legal or not. Similar ballot measures and referendums have shown huge support for abortion in even conservative states. There is a measure yet to be voted on in August for if the November vote has to reach 60% and meet other conditions instead of being simple majority. Polling suggests a landslide victory for legalizing abortion and intense disapproval of changing the requirements.
Which of the following sounds more reasonable? * I shouldn't have to pay for the content that I use to tune my LLM model and algorithm. * We shouldn't have to pay for the content we use to train and teach an AI. By calling it AI, the corporations are able to advocate for a position that's blatantly pro corporate and anti writer/artist, and trick people into supporting it under the guise of a technological development.
