Climate? Fucked. Safety? Fucked.

Both institutional Democrat and Conservative parties are towards the right side of the spectrum, yes.

The Democrats doing this is entirely their fault though. There are a number of issues where people actually skew left if the framing is set up in a certain way. The fact that they're chasing the GOP will likely blow up in their face when they lose support from their supposed "own" base because the party fails to represent them. The establishment Dems don't represent the views of Bernie or AOC, for instance, and those candidates best align with my current views.

If Dems end up losing, it's because they didn't recognize the potential to seize their own destiny. The same's been true since 2016.

Fairphone 5 can do that, and even give you choice over your RAM.

Although the phone isn't sold in the US, it will work the best on T-Mobile since the Fairphone 5's chipset best aligns with those frequencies (sorry for the reddit post).

Would've been my first phone after my previous 7 year old Galaxy Note9, but it incurred water damage. Definitely considering it still though even with my new phone lease because of the Fairphone 5 being unlocked

I've been using Original Commenter (OC) to talk about the person who starts a comment thread. Seems to be pretty intuitive. Wonder what the acronym would be for commenters responding to OC and starting different comment branches. Probably makes sense to just use their name

The US is bipartisan when it comes to Israeli support because Democrats haven't broken from that bipartisan tradition.

Once Democrats do, it is no longer bipartisan.

I don't expect Conservatives to do this given what you've said, so Democrats foot the bill.

Biden has in fact already called for the cease of arms transfers, but that policy goes into effect after the election finishes. If Biden can call for it after the election, he can call for it today.

There is no reason why the Commander in Chief cannot outlaw the transfer of weapons and ammunition to Israel. We've already broken one of our laws that prevents this.

Oh I will always tell people to not vote for Trump. There is doing damage to our international reputation as the leader of the free world, and then there is complete and utter dismantling and destruction of the free world, us included.

I will vote and it won't be Trump, but I also want Democrats to earn my vote. The cognitive dissonance has to stop.

The Israeli government is being fascist, and has been for a long time. Thank you for calling it out. Sad to see the down votes because Palestinians have been locked in Israel's cage with no freedom for decades, and Lebanon is next. Hopefully society starts to shift in its outlook and complicity.

You hit the nail on the head too. So many people cannot support Democrats during this election because although they call for freedom and justice, they also call for arms transfers and no repurcussions for Netanyahu countlessly dissolving freedom and justice for Palestinians.

Voting for Democrats, unfortunately, boils down to "rights for me, not for thee", and the only difference between that sentiment and what you might find in Conservatives is that Democrats hold that distinction between all Americans and those from other countries. Conservatives hold that between different groups of Americans.

Really sours any hope I had for Kamala overtaking Biden

Yep that helps me find communities from within Lemmy. I just also remembered that Sync has this feature too.

External visibility and discoverability is still an issue
