Daniele10@aral I wish I knew what Harris was thinking when she said she supported all of Biden's decisions instead of telling the people that are support of Israel through the delivery of bombs was wrong.
@daniele_Hesse @aral If I had to guess, I'd say she was probably thinking about the 10s of millions of dollars in campaign contributions that were riding on her answer. The policy positions of both major parties are the result of a private auction between the parties and their campaign donors.
Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧Not sure I agree fully, but certainly more than 50% on board with this take.

L'égrégore André ꕭꕬ@aral I've been thinking about that climate policy chart that went around last US election or the one before. The one where Democrats went "look how bad it will be under Trump" without ever acknowledging that the chart also showed their policy missing the target by a wide margin.
And that's how their policies show: no fixing it, only a slower doom.
I understand why people who know they will be left to die just opt out.
