I’m still saddened by thinking of what could have been. I don’t think we’d be as worried this election if it was Sanders running for a second term.
The lab-leak theory for the origins of the 2020 pandemic was racist disinformation; now, commentators and experts acknowledge it’s a genuine possibility.
just gonna open with that with zero supportive evidence huh? Jesus Christ.
Fauci backtracked all his previous lies about the lab leak being a conspiracy theory https://youtu.be/AqYZw1TNFZ4?t=1m38s
UsRighttoknow found evidence that a US company outsourced virus research that described covid19 to the Wuhan Lab.
Of course it’s no surprise that the Wuhan Lab of Virology is responsible for the outbreak of a virus right next to it. But hey that Pangolin wet market story sounds so funny let’s keep repeating it.
wtf is a fauci and what kind of source is a youtube video.
The doctor who led America through Covid as official presidential advisor. And the one responsible for lab leak being called a conspiracy theory.
Him backtracking on lab leak says everything.
For the leak documents see https://usrtk.org/covid-19-origins/scientists-proposed-making-viruses-with-unique-features-of-sars-cov-2-in-wuhan/
This is so dumb. We’ll never know exactly but from what we do the initial infections don’t convincingly point to workers from the lab, genetic evidence suggests zoonautic origins are probable, there is no proof either way. The Chinese government isn’t allowing an audit, and by this point it’s too late anyway.
There is no reason to believe it’s likely. Let alone certain. It’s literally just “China, who the usaians call red china, is uncooperative” and “there’s a lab studying Coronavirus’s in a region with lots of them”
You just got linked proof.
Even the person who gaslighted the world into believing lab leak was a conspiracy, has backtracked it last month. You just saw the video
Just accept that the government lied.
What government? what are you fucking on about? I don’t give a shit about political games in some hick filled military cult if you’re talking about the evil empire.
There is zero evidence sars2 came from a lab, zero. Something being technically possible is not the same as it being likely.
The American government.
Consider reading the article instead of responding without ever reading anything. You just don’t want to see the evidence.
Biden got my last ever vote for a corporate candidate. I vowed I’m never doing the pied piper bullshit again after 2020. If Dems want my vote they can try to earn it with real candidates. They could help prop up Satan himself on the GOP side to make their corpo dem look pallatable, I’m wholly done with the lesser evil shit. It needs to end, it’s costing us our democracy and will never, ever produce an opportunity for real change.
So you’re going to vote republican then?
Not vote at all?
If you’re not voting get off your soapbox and fucking vote!
I’m voting Uncommitted for presidential if Biden doesn’t step down. If he does step down that’s enough of a referendum on his Israel policy that I’m willing to vote for his replacement in this context, but Biden needs to go. He’s not only a deeply immoral person, he’s now literally unelectable.
Democrats need to show actual signs of being able to listen. Not rhetoric or empty promises, but actual meaningful action. If they are unable to listen and submit to their constituency then they have no useful potential.
If they want to continue playing chicken then that’s on them and we’ll deal with the consequences of that when they come.
We have a first past the post-voting system and two major parties. You never vote FOR anyone. You only vote AGAINST who you hate more.
Voting third party or not voting is exactly equivalent to voting for whoever you hate most of the top two candidates.
The things I just said are facts. Logically proven. Look up CPG Grey’s FPTP video if you want an easy primer.
So then the question just remains, do you think both candidates are equally horrible? If the answer is yes, then your strategy is correct. But if you think one of the two is slightly more horrible, that’s the one you should be voting against.
I know how how our broken voting system works. You are trying to condescend, the same way neoliberals do when people won’t vote the way they want. It won’t work.
I believe that genocide is wrong and runs counter to every single progressive policy and principle, and for that reason it’s literally impossible for any candidate that supports genocide to represent me or my interests. I don’t care what they say they will do or what they claim to believe, a candidate’s genocide support trumps any other consideration. Even when it comes to things those candidates might do that may benefit me or if the alternative threatens my privledged position and safety. I can’t be bribed with policy or threatened into compromising on genocide.
If neither candidate can bring themselves to stop being genocidal, then I will vote to inflict a political price on the side that’s least far-right. And I will do it again, and again until either that party recognizes the need to move left out of basic need for political survival or we reach the end of this farsical game of corporate duopoly grab-ass and it simply comes to blows with the fascists.
We cannot buy more time with lesser evils. We tried that. The time we bought over the past 50 years has been squandered, and now we’re left with only really hard choices, none of which are good. You can thank stubborn, racist narcissists like Joe Biden.
Ok, so you think both are equally bad. That’s fine.
I personally disagree, but that’s because I worry for my daughters and gay friends.
Trans enby here.
I’m focused on evacuating as many of my queer sibs from red zones as possible before Trump takes office, which is inevitable because liberals would rather drive away potential allies than admit that their electoral strategy might be flawed.
