Yes, God forbid that people vote for parties that actually represent their values rather than always picking the lesser of two evils

An irony that 100% of Christian Nationalists will never appreciate.

Yup. Decades of Cold War propaganda, an incompetent news media, and a binary, two-party duopoly that positions itself as "the right" versus "the left" have all worked together on this one.

More bullshit from the DNC. Luckily the judge appears to have dismissed the complaint, which means the Greens are still on the ballot in Wisconsin.

The DNC has subsequently filed a lawsuit in response. The author of the complaint, David Strange, says the Greens should not be on the ballot because

the Green Party can't nominate presidential electors in Wisconsin because no one in the party is a state officer, defined as legislators, judges and others. Without any presidential electors, the party can't have a presidential candidate on the ballot

All this pretty rich coming from the party that is allegedly out to "save democracy".

Musk sycophants coming to his defense in the comments by quoting "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" 🤦‍♂️

Absolutely. Add capping campaign spending, overturning Citizens United, and making it easier for alternative political parties to get on the ballot to that list, too.

Except Kamala crumpled under pressure and dropped her support of a fracking ban and M4A.

These days, no one knows what she stands for. Her campaign seems happy to be riding on pure vibes for the time being.

This doesn't come across as a "Zionist" mod persecuting you for criticisms of Israel, this comes across as a pretty squabble involving two people who should know better, quite honestly.

People criticize Israel in News & World News all the time; it really depends how you go about it.

Same here, although I confess I wasn't blown away by this one. I often find that while Ghibli films always crush it on the imagination front, the writing can be hit and miss. I understood the autobiographical origin of the plot, but there were several parts that felt underdeveloped or poorly explained. Overall, was good but definitely not up there with Mononoke or Spirited Away, imo

Humans are perfectly capable of dividing themselves into factions and fostering hatred of the other without religion, don't you worry.
