Aren't there places in Europe that do Street then Address # then City (I have to do this for OSMAnd)? That's just as cursed as Month Day Year

Use nix home-manager or guix home and put your configs in a git repo (this is my guix home config for reference)

You'd rather side with a Trump supporter than someone who refuses to vote for genocide? That says a lot.

I'm not really sure. One of the most common complaints among the less extreme portions of the right is that the left is too intolerant and strict and not fun to be around. And being more welcoming of the person themselves, even while acknowledging to yourself that their beliefs are severely flawed (possibly due to factors such as propaganda, peer pressure, religious beliefs), might be a way to help capture that crowd and work to win them over.

At the same time, there needs to be a line drawn somewhere where the person is clearly being malicious and possibly dangerous and is a lost cause. Stuff like "your body my choice", using slurs, praising suicides of marginalized people, etc isn't worth tolerating. Also when it comes to group activities, allowing these sort of people and ideas makes minorities uncomfortable, so when they leave to someplace more comfortable now your group is just full of Nazis. I seen no problem with cutting these sort of people out.

For the average Republican voter yes. Neo-Nazis and rulers are probably more intelligent though.

I just don’t get how people are looking at Harris’ stance as being pro-genocide.

Blinken stated here:

In speaking with him the other day after he made his decision about not seeking re-election, what he’s intensely focused on is the work that remains over these next six months to continue the efforts, the work that we’ve been doing, particularly trying to bring peace to the Middle East, ending the war in Gaza, putting that region on a better trajectory

However, as you said earlier:

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is the one who wields the power to deny Israel’s aid.

Regarding:

There’s way more background on why Blinken has only stopped two aids and also because of classification reasons, not every stopping of aid can be published

I would like to hear more on this.

A lot of the funds that Israel is getting, is funding they secured before the Gaza invasion.

I did come across this where apparently Israel secured funding through a deal with the Obama administration.

I'm not sure what other reasons there may be that Blinken isn't stopping the military aid which I would like to hear, but it seems to me like both the Obama and Biden administrations are the ones that pulled us into the genocide and that Blinken is playing the "we are working toward a ceasefire" card while not stopping the genocide, and figures like Harris are also playing the same card while pushing the same anti-protest rhetoric as Zionists. This article does suggest that Harris isn't going to have Blinken as Secretary of State and that her new pick might be more critical of Israel so it seems like there's at least some chance she might deviate from what Biden is currently doing; however, the article also suggests that she will have a similar approach to foreign policy as Biden. Aside from that, with the track record of Democrats historically supporting Israel and siding with donors against the interests of people along with their recently having dropped multiple progressive issues, I don't think people are convinced that Harris (and many Democrats in general) is going to stop the genocide (not saying that Trump who openly supports Israel is going to be any better).

You mean like memes such as this one that deliberately leave out all sorts of context and misrepresent a political issue by oversimplifying it?

[-] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I ended up in a debate yesterday about who is more likely to win the election and looked into this more carefully, this article if I am reading it correctly is saying that Harris dropped 0 percentage points and Trump dropped 1 percentage points and assumed that the 1 percentage point was voters headed toward Stein, which seems very odd and clickbaity and I'm honestly disappointed this article was posted and taken seriously.

Right now Al Jazeera is saying that Arab American voters are tied 41 to 42 percent Harris and Trump respectively, compared to 59 percent Biden in 2020 and 17 percent Biden in 2023. Which would make me assume about 20% voting for Stein coming from previous Democrat voters making them a loud minority. I've also seen multiple anecdotes of Harris winning over Republican votes so it seems like that 1% drop in Trump support could be coming from that rather than people leaving Trump for Stein. So what I said earlier was probably BS it looks like (although I'm kind of surprised the Trump support is this high).

Captain represents capitalists falsely promising to fix our problems

Broken liferaft is the false promise (i.e. voting is going to fix our problems despite genocide, imperialism, deporting illegal immigrants, hurting homeless people, fracking, etc)

Fixed liferaft is what actually will save us (i.e. food, housing, healthcare, etc)

While everyone is hyperfocused on who to vote for, the capitalists take the rest of the food/housing/healthcare and everyone else dies.

passenger 1 - "Oh crud. Our boat is sinking. We are in great peril indeed."

captain - "We're going to be okay everyone, just get into this liferaft."

Pulls out liferaft with a huge fucking hole in it.

passenger 1 - "Is this the only liferaft we've got?"

captain - "Yes, but don't worry about the hole, it won't sink and we'll be fine I promise."

passenger 2 - "Hey guys, I have a liferaft over here that doesn't have a hole in it."

captain - "Guys, that's not important right now. Our boat is sinking."

passenger 1 - "Eh, I guess I'll go in that one."

passenger 3 - "Sure me too, captain says we should - wait where's captain?"

Looks up, in the distance sees captain floating away on functional liferaft.

captain - "So long fuckers!"

Passengers board remaining liferaft, liferaft sinks, the passengers die.
