Sorry, can you run that by me again?

“All of the millions and millions of people worldwide who are further left than me (enlightened centerist american) are babies”.

Good lord. Imagine being this out of touch.

How many genocidal deaths per month (under a dem administration) would it take for you to withhold your vote for a dem? 1 thousand, 1 million, 10 million? I suspect there is no amount.

“Shockwave player is required to view this content”

As an electrical engineer who dabbled in RF in school, that sounds supremely difficult.

The climate crisis is getting exponentially worse despite democrats having held office. The solution is going to be outside of American electoralism. It will have to be an international workers movement if there’s any hope of dismantling regulatory capture and supremely powerful special interests.

Refining capitalism isn’t going to save the planet.

Heavy equipment also use the technology. Someone using this tool at a construction site could cause massive issue to 70k pound loaders using radar to detect personnel.

Can you show me a single time in history when a ruling class simply “ceased to exist” due to a “primarily progressive” populace?

Ruling classes: classes with power, money, capital, do not simply cease to exist. Their power isn’t given up so easily.

Your original premise that only conservative voters protect the ruling class is so demonstrably wrong. Look at at the entirety of the social democratic Europe: who have attained riches from the global south. Look back to FDR voters who cheered internment camps. Look at modern Biden voters who tacitly approve genocide in Gaza. Look to the social democrats who betrayed leftists in Germany. Make no mistake: democrats preserve capitalism.

You have a warped view of our issues as left vs right when they’re actually up vs down: which plays into the hands of big interests like big oil. And the result is that you are pacifying people who would otherwise be doing actual class analysis and have some ounce of revolutionary fervor. Instead, you’re perpetuating the myth that all the evil we experience in our politics is due to baddies on the right who are proud Republicans.

I suspect that as time goes on, while the US and world continue to backside into genocidal fascism, you’ll find yourself confused and aimless, wondering why every tool at your disposal (electoralism, kissing the feet of democrats) isn’t helping to stop Nazis.

You have to read some Marx and understand these are class-based issues as opposed to left v right.

So honest question: why do you find it more accurate to refer to these people as conservatives instead of the ruling class in your original comment?

… who get tacit approval from liberal democrats. Both parties are bought and paid for by special interests: namely oil. Biden has drilled more than Trump.

This is a risky move if you or your neighbors use insecticides.

Or, both your spider and roach population explode because they’ve formed an ecosystem. Roaches eat spiders for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Haven’t there been talks of a link between mouthwash and throat/mouth cancer?

That’s not from the bill; that’s from a press release.

What you’re doing here is subtly shifting the burden of phone addiction from software companies and phone manufacturers back onto end users.

You’re glossing right over the fact that these teams have the very best software engineers, mechanical engineers, marketers, ad people, psychologists, and doctors for the purpose of making these endlessly scrolling apps as addictive and hard to avoid as possible.

I read your comment and think about the people who say “why are you depressed? Just go lift some weights. It all comes down to you”

Keir Starmer?

Everything I read about this dude characterizes him as abandoning left wing policy in favor of center, center-right policy.

4th paragraph of his wikipedia page

His leadership has been characterised by movement towards the political centre and abandonment of the left-wing platform of his leadership campaign, as well as by opposition to some of the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and issues such as Partygate

I just think it’s strange for you to insinuate that the position of the left is that of Israel’s.
