they're busy surviving an ethnic cleansing

Doubt

who keeps upvoting this bullshit?

I played it with mods that forced me to construct everything from scratch. Super-enjoyable that way; created a multi-system logistics network that moved all raw goods to a single planet, than created a massive manufacturing base. Got bored and just played Satisfactory, which is apparently all I wanted anyway. Also, Eve online is way cooler.

You are misinterpreting my comment, and you seem to be trying your best to antagonize. I wrote, pretty explicitly, that I don't believe in him. I don't believe in any candidate... except maybe Claudia de la Cruz. I'll repeat again: Progressive politics is more than just elections. Productive discussion - even in small forums like this - are far more useful than arguing about a candidate in an election that I would guess that none of us here can even vote in.

No, not at all. I'm saying that the likelihood of getting a 'progressive' candidate on a ballot is extremely unlikely. I'm also saying that 'politics' and specifically 'progressive politics' is far more than just elections. I'd contend that most 'governance' is done by unelected government workers. I'm saying that political candidates dont matter as much as us building our own communities and networks. I'm saying that arguing over which candidate would fuck us over the least is largely a waste of time. Progressive politics, in practice, should devote less time to electoralism and more time to developing their communities - government be damned.

Seems like this instance needs to define what 'progressive politics' are. From my perspective, US electoral methods are currently constructed in a way where 'leftist' ideas are simply not allowed to advance. Like, yes Platner is guilty of war crimes but he is the less worse candidate, so sure vote him in and then move on and do the real work of community building, organizing, unionizing, and building a powerful labor bloc that is not beholden to any political party. Elections will not save us.

fucking arrest her and put her in jail wtf is going on

trump took control of the state national guard under false pretenses to send them to a city that was protesting against ICE agents illegally disappearing people, and the LAPD is PROTECTING the ICE agents and national guard instead of siding with the people of LA. No one is coming to save us. Curfew protects ICE, not the people.

It was a post-doc student who wanted to continue his research at UMich on the fungus to develop ways to prevent blight. His peer-reviewed published research on the topic is available through google scholar: Google Scholar Link. He was wrong to try and sneak it in, but this looks like a dedicated scientific researcher making a bad decision - not an attempted terrorist attack.

yes - as a war criminal for ordering the murder of Yemeni citizens
