So i'm just gonna say a few things, If this issue is me being MIA and not appointing other mods, okay that's a fair criticism, I should have been logging in/posting more, but I'm going to respond to a some other points.
The reason I chose this instance is because of the limited options available, aside from my personal affinities towards solarpunk, and reality is joining a US centric general instance would be more hostile towards this community because they are likely aligned with Biden Administration and liberalism. I don't get why this not being a US centric instance would be a problem on a federated network.
For the record I am an anarchist and my promotion of a third party candidate is as protest against the 2 party system -- particularly because they're the only candidate that advocates on behalf of Palestine -- for me at least it's the same of supporting someone like Vermin Supreme , obviously the guy isn't going to win, the point is subverting the election ( which is a totalitarian media spectacle) and utilizing it as means of propagating socialist ideas.
So i don't see how supporting a candidate who will definitely not win is reproducing hierarchical electoral politics, since doing so indicates the futility of electoral politics itself. That argument seems like an overly dogmatic misinterpretation of anarchist principles.
Hello, well it seems like a done decision, I did get pretty disillusioned with the candidate a while back figured I should keep the community up for simply Documenting the campaign, but it's not really worth the kind of hostility that every post brings, I could message people who are more active and see if they want to mod, but pretty the members on this instance don't want it here so
absolute bullshit, it burns more in carbon to run those machines than it takes out, this is making shit worse at an accelerated pace
I say wait for election day and flip a coin, that's basically how elections are determined, the arbitrary whims of the margin of people in swing states who go out to vote or not. You're individual vote does not make any difference in the absence of mass organized action, and the Democrats are terrified of exactly that kind of mass organization because otherwise they wouldn't be so secure in running corporate puppets like Biden.
If you wanna be realistic about it Voting in any state other than a swing state is basically 'throwing your vote away' : Vote Blue in a Blue State you're just throwing it in a pile, Vote Blue in a Red State it's just as much a symbolic protest vote as anything else. Only in a swing state will your Vote make a tangeable difference which is why those are the only states either party even campaigns in for the most part.
my opinion is those boats are too damn big
you know they used to have these things called sail boats
"For the past 50 years, I have been facing heavy financial responsibilities to family and friends. I have always made my priceless children a high priority - even with lavish treatments that are not in the records. The wave of IRS audits, fees, liabilities, levees, and liens have always been and are now resolved based on agreements set in place years ago. I do believe that we all should pay our fair share of taxes, especially the top 1%! Like the 63% of my hard-working fellow citizens, I live paycheck to paycheck with dignity and determination!#PeopleOverProfits" https://nitter.net/CornelWest/status/1693672094910058679#m
Part of it is due process, but it also means you have the right to not be killed by the actions of the government without being found guilty of a crime.
People who are saying "this is technically correct" forget that The 9nth amendment says this
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Which is to say, Just because a right isn't explicitly enumerated in the constitution does not mean the people don't retain that right. I would think the right to not have the planet not be destroyed by Fossil Fuel Companies would fall under that, along with clean and and water and all the rest.
it's time for a decentralized unionized taxi app
it's amazing there are people who's job it is to write this bullshit
