And who was the first US President to stand on a union picket line? Only ten minutes... but still. Would you rather vote for the semi-proworker candidate, or the clearly pro billionaire boss man candidate?
True I suppose... I'd much rather be door knocking and voting for someone in the squad. But what candidate / party wants to repeal voting rights, which candidate is middle-out versus golden shower trickle down, what VP forced Obama to support LGBTQ in the military, which candidate is for reproductive freedom, which one is for student loan forgiveness, which one got infrastructure done and the CHIPS act pushed through, and which one not only accepts global warming and vaccine science but got the strongest climate protection on the planet passed. It's not the lesser of two evils, it's a half-progresive / half-neoliberal with many questionable policies... against a narcissistic christo-nationalist fascist alleged billionaire who tried to undermine the Constitution and who would simply love it if the youth, the minorities, the socialists would sit this election out.
I want my election choice in 2024 to be Omar vs. Tlaib. But instead, it's Biden vs. Trump... and sitting this one out is still choosing.
Worked there a long time too. It was easy to find engineering projects to be on that had nothing to do with offensive weapons of death. Nuclear power, railroad automation, mail sorting, basic research, etc. Was always a hassle dealing with the culture there though. Lots of autocratic control freaks. Lots of managers who let their egos sabotage otherwise good efforts.
Not a huge fan of cross posting. I'd rather not see the same exact image three times back to back in my subscribed feed from the pics, aww, & dogs communities of someone's fur-baby. If Lemmy ever adds cross-posting there should also be a Detect Duplicates option.
Because they both have publicly fought against the passage of the NDAA?
