I don't support Harris, but I will vote for her because Trump winning will only make things worse. And accelerate the climate catastrophe, which will hurt everyone who lives here, animals and plants too.

As far as how I will get the US to stop funding Israel... I won't. It's a bigger problem then myself.

But, organizing outside of the election cycle is the way to do it. Protests, strikes, not paying our taxes. Those are the ways to change things.

A third party protest vote won't change anything. It will just get your candidate and those who voted for them blamed for spoiling a two party election and putting Trump in office.

P.S. The framing of your question sucks btw. For reasons I pointed out above (I don't support Harris, and I don't propose that I can do anything personally to stop the genocide outside of organizing with others. And, if Trump is elected, the genocide will accelerate and likely spread to other middle eastern countries, and everyone will be suffering greatly by 2075 due to climate change).

The community is the main selling point for me. Further left than reddit. Fewer bots and recycled bot posts. Generally less defensive and aggressive posters, though the US election has made things a bit more contentious, I'm sure it's still better than reddit on this.

Scared people want strong leaders (a daddy) to tell them it's okay, it's not the climate, it's the queers, migrants, etc. And Daddy's going to fix it.

Blame may not be the right word. But the destruction of our environment and everything that goes with it, certainly gives authoritarianism an opening.

Judith Butler goes pretty deep into this in Who's Afraid of Gender? Of course their analysis focuses mostly on how gender queer people end up being targeted. But the unnamed fear of climate destruction is a big factor. And trans people one of many scapegoats for power hungry demagogues.

Fast food worker and now a garbage man.

Cosplay around Halloween is as close as Trump will ever come to solidarity with workers.

The couches are the give away. But I honestly wasn't sure until then lol

Thanks for the correction

It may not be the answer to every problem but it seems like a pretty good solution for somebody that attempted to murder somebody.

And I've actually been in prison for nonviolent offenses. That doesn't mean the whole idea of separating dangerous people from society is a bad one.

It's certainly feeling that way.

So if someone is polluting the air my child and I breathe, and destroying the environment in which we live, and I use physical force to stop them, is that self-defense?

“So we really like what we’re seeing,” she added. “We’re seeing strong turnout. Our margins are strong, and the folks that we’re focused on, those lower propensity voters that don’t always vote, they are tuning in and showing up at a higher level in support of the vice president.”

i.e. voter turnout and engagement has been high

Because the democrats have been giving the FTC and Unions more teeth lately. And Harris is pointing towards tax hikes on Bezos. So, both Trump and Harris are bad from Bezos point of view.
