  • Cumulus Cetacean

  • China’s plan to get around Western tariffs: Fill the world with factories
  • I also recommend The East is Still Red - Chinese Socialism in the 21st Century by Carlos Martinez, it does a great job of dispelling common myths about China and it's economy, foreign policy, etc with solid sources through a solidly materialist lens.

  • 20 gallons of water, gone

  • Transphobia in the fediverse
  • he's also an adamant COVID-denier, I have no doubt that his heart is in the wrong place and his Castro PFP+"leftism" are purely aesthetic

  • Ideology gap increase between young men and women in various countries.
  • oh yeah, South Korea has gone off the rails recently. lots of news stories about men assaulting women for the assumption that they're feminists, anti-woman politicians being elected, women losing their jobs for being (or assumed to be) feminists, it's all Very Not Good.

  • Tim Walz makes direct appeal to conflicted Muslim voters
  • Walz misspoke and conflated Israel for Iran. His response was vague but only asserted the need for steady leadership

    this is either incredibly naive or intentionally misleading. his response was full support of Israel's expansion as a necessity for US foreign policy.

    ‘Strong record of supporting the U.S.-Israel relationship’: a look at Tim Walz’s votes on Palestine as a member of Congress (15 Aug 2024)

    A review of Tim Walz’s time in Congress from 2007 to 2018 shows he supported multiple Israeli wars on Gaza, rejected the international consensus on the illegality of West Bank settlements, and opposed any unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state.

    In reality, though, Walz has never diverged from the party line of unconditionally supporting Israel, a position illustrated by his comments earlier this year at an event held by the Jewish Community Relations Council.

    “The ability of Jewish people to self-determine themselves is foundational … The failure to recognise the state of Israel is taking away that self-determination. So it is anti-Semitic,” he said.

    While sitting in Congress from 2007-2019, Walz voted to condemn a United Nations resolution that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were illegal.

    Walz has not spoken publicly on calls to divest from Israeli companies.

    Kamala Harris selects Tim Walz, pro-Israel Minnesota governor, as her running mate (6 Aug 2024)

    He also expressed support for Zionism and said those who do not recognize Israel are antisemitic this June at an event held by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas.

    He traveled to Israel on a 2009 diplomatic trip to the Middle East during which he met with both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Bashar al-Asad. He also voted with his party to allocate foreign aid, including to Israel

  • Tim Walz makes direct appeal to conflicted Muslim voters
  • that's not how voting works. if I don't vote for trump is that automatically another vote for harris? they don't take the non-votes and just give them to the candidate you like least. I've always found this stance very silly. Even sillier since American elections aren't decided by the popular vote anyways.

    additionally, withholding your vote is the only way to maintain leverage with politicians, since they do not listen to the policy demands of their constituents. policies that have broad support among the populace (medicare for all, an Israeli arms embargo/ceasefire) are not even a consideration for them. how do you expect them to change if you pledge your support to them anyways? at some point they have to realize that ignoring the demands of their voter base is going to cost them elections, which it should.

  • Socialism is not even radical
  • that's my president(ial candidate) :)

  • This applies to both sides...
  • incredible case of the comments proving the OP right, very well done everyone

  • Leading US imams and scholars urge Muslim voters to snub Kamala Harris over Gaza
  • like I said, hope this strategy works out for you! I'm not confident it will, but I guess we will see.

  • Leading US imams and scholars urge Muslim voters to snub Kamala Harris over Gaza
  • they did do that during the primary, and their concerns were ignored. now the chickens are coming home to roost! I truly hope the strategy of eagerly telling everyone to the left to the party to fuck off works out, but I'm not very confident tbh

  • Letters to the Editor: Your 'protest vote' for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald Trump
  • I don't know why people are so worried, surely all the moderate Republicans you courted by mirroring GOP policy on immigration, the border, the military, aid to Israel, fossil fuels, social services, and the death penalty will be enough to win? I was assured by very confident Dems that they didn't need my dumb lefty vote to win this election 🤷

  • Israel launches ground offensive into southern Lebanon
