and Trump isn’t even 10% into his term.

A spokesperson for Stein said she was unaware of Pool’s reported connection to Jan. 6; a lawyer for Pool insisted his client was filming a documentary, not taking part in the attack.

I suppose it depends what they play.

I first read her name today here:

wp:Rachele Fruit

Rachele Fruit (born October 4, 1949) is an American activist who is the Socialist Workers Party’s nominee for President of the United States in the 2024 presidential election.

​

Fruit has worked a series of jobs throughout her life, including as a meatpacker,[1] trade unionist,[3] a ramp worker for Eastern Airlines,[2] and a Walmart employee.[4]

​

and apparently pro-Israel: https://www.jewishtimes.com/sitting-down-with-pro-israel-third-party-presidential-candidate-rachele-fruit/

And anyone who is interested in reading and learning about the history of Hamas will be convinced that it’s not about liberation. It’s about genocide against the Jews. And that’s an important point because there is a legitimate Palestinian liberation struggle, but there’s no leadership. To resolve the Palestine national question and the Jewish national question will take the working class of both people to find a way to work together to figure out how to live together on the same land and move forward.

"But your honor, I parked my car there because the sign said ‘fine for parking.’ "

there is the ongoing issue wrt Palestinians and their plight.

which is why we shouldn’t (totally) dump on Oliver, Stein, and West.

Price controls could lead to shortages, which is reportedly common in Communist countries—which I’ll concede to Trump;

however, Trump is hardly better with his flogging crap, the encouragement of stupidity, the anti-science, and the tariffs—why do Trump supporters—presumably a vast majority being consumers—support tariffs, quotas, and seem indifferent to IP (“intellectual property”) trolls and their lobbies? Why do they oppose abortion (and perhaps contraceptives) when fewer children means less need to purchase stuff?

Perhaps price controls for basics are needed, but this is not the ideal; and if you support price controls because you favour socialism, then again, Trump is kinda right here.

​

note: if I was American, I would not vote for Trump or pretty well any Republican.

The informed consumer is a great price control in the free market.

This is why I don’t buy whatever crap that Trump flogs or for that matter tic tacs.

IIUC, if 1 million Californians who voted for Biden in 2020, instead voted for Trump, Biden would have still won the state.

America shouldn’t be a 2-party state: vote your heart.

wp:Tsai Ing-wen

Tsai Ing-wen (Chinese: 蔡英文; born 31 August 1956) is a Taiwanese politician who served as the 7th president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) from 2016 to 2024, and was the first woman to hold that position.[1] A member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), she intermittently served as chair of the DPP from 2008 to 2012, 2014 to 2018, and 2020 to 2022.[2]

Tsai is known to be a cat lover, and her two cats, “Think Think” and “Ah Tsai”, featured prominently in her election campaign.[230] In October 2016, she adopted three retired guide dogs, named Bella, Bunny, and Maru.[231][232]

Hamas is almost a tool for Israel, Waters says Ukraine should give into Putin, and denies the Uighur genocide.

Thou shalt not kill.

no more capital punishment,

1:14 the song “Signed, Sealed & Delivered” was written by an American who recently became a Ghanaian citizen.

Sure, until after several insect generations when many have adapted.

As a Ukraine-supporter, I oppose most of the sanctions against Russia too.

The leaders of countries such as the PRC, Modi’s India, Putin’s Russia, ans Iran might not like the idea of decentralization.

Indeed, they might not like the internet itself.
