Both Republicans and Democrats enable the genocide in Gaza

If the Dems go that route, I'm through

You joke, but there's an element of truth!

Gaza

Agree
E-bikes are much better than a car.

Many people don't need bikes to be electric. Problems:
Heavier, more expensive, become obsolete quickly, can be hard to repair.

Good for you!
BTW there are many other ways to learn besides Duolingo that I think are more fun.

I'm afraid it won't be the Democratic leadership

A relative used to be a mechanical inspector for a US airline.
He was horrified by how standards had deteriorated.

The Chinese EVs are probably good but they continue the destructive car habit.
Give us walkable cities, bicycles and mass transit!

Great slogan!

I always vote but I can see why ppl don't, when the choice is between
War+oligarchy Flavor A
vs
War+oligarchy Flavor B

I was there the late 60s, early 70s. Complicated time.
Both Judt and Blackburn are right.

First they came for the pro-Palestinian activists
.... and then they came for me

If we're serious we need to constrain air travel

Walk and ride bikes instead of cars. (EVs pollute and kill people just like ICE vehicles).

Make our cities walkable and cyclable as Paris has done.

I always was skeptical about bike route suggestions from Google. Sometimes ok, sometimes not.
Our county has a wonderful paper map of bike routes which I find useful.

It's already 1939 in Palestine

Military budget is the most expensive and wasteful

Young German voters went massively to the right (AfD) and to the left (Linke and BSW).
That's the future unless centrist parties wake up.

How much money would be saved if there were no phone upgrades, no collectors, no fares?

Self-correcting pathology

What's going on in Gaza and the West Bank now?
Not just gestures but actual murders
Who is enabling this?

Glad you like it!
I sold my e-bike. Although it was convenient, I didn't like the feel while riding.
Also it was heavy and I didn't really need it.

Exactly.
It's been a self-destructive strategy

I don't want to win!
I wish I were wrong.

To be taken seriously, people need to criticize behavior as well.
Such as invading Iraq and Afghanistan, and enabling genocide in Gaza.

It's not a conspiracy. It's not hidden. Victoria Nuland has been working at this for years

Look up the neocons, their documents, and politicians who echo their statements.
Can't understand US policy otherwise.
