  • Exactly, preaching to anyone ever remotely left of the democrats to vote 3rd party is just begging the only tenuous coalition of progressives to split the voter base and hand the conservatives power for decades to come.

    We should be in the comment sections of conservative spaces trying to amplify whatever cracks have formed between segments of their voterbase.

    What new wars with direct US involvement started under Biden? What new wars happened under Obama, or Clinton? Or any Democrat that started a war in a foreign nation in the last 50 years. I’m not talking selling surplus outdated weapons to another nation, I’m talking boots on the ground, enlisted military going into another nation and fighting in direct conflict.

    Every single time it’s been a Republican dragging us into a forever war with no clear objective, and a Democrat that cleans up the mess and finishes the job.

    I’m not saying that the dems are a good political party, they’re still a neoliberal organization that cowtows to corporate interests, and they’re spinless when it comes to wielding power to benefit the rest of the population and standing up to Republicans but they’re not the same thing.

    Besides the only “viable” candidate for the Green Party is literally photographed rubbing elbows with Russian Oligarchs and Putin and Libertarians unironically want to remove the age of consent so they can have their child brides.




  • I think cancer rates going up are a lot of things. I think medicine overall has gotten significantly better that because people aren’t dying nearly as young as they used to are then able to go on to develop cancer they otherwise wouldn’t have, I think that our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are certainly not helpful, I think the constant stresses of daily existence under late stage capitalism is extremely unhealthy, I think the amount of high calorie low nutrition highly processed foods we consume have a huge affect. Also cancer is an extremely large umbrella term for an affliction that comes about in more ways than there are cancers, melanoma comes from prolonged UV exposure, lung and mouth cancer come from a wide array of carcinogens operating on numerous mechanism, like Radon works completely differently from tobacco smoke and diferently from asbestos.

    I think there is much stronger evidence for a multitude of other things causing cancer than solely glyphosate.
