  • As far as I can tell, The Harris/Walz campaign hasn’t officially responded to this endorsement. Are you getting mad about stuff that hasn’t even happened?

    Believe it or not, the Harris/Walz campaign doesn’t orchestrate endorsements. Anyone can endorse a candidate with or without that candidate’s knowledge, permission, or acknowledgement.

    Harris may be getting the endorsement of old-school/moderate Republicans, but Trump has the endorsement of extremist/far-right Republicans and Neo-Nazis.

    If you can’t pick a side here, that’s entirely your own moral failure.







  • You’re just repeating the same tired old “Liberals are just as bad” bullshit everyone has heard a thousand times already. Not a single point here is true.

    I have zero reason to believe she “blindly supports the military”, though I suppose that depends on what level of support for the military you object to.

    She has spoken far more directly about a ceasefire and has been more concerned about Palestinian civilians than most other politicians.

    As for the “compromises with fascists” claim, that’s just bullshit, and you know it. Yeah, I know, she’s got the endorsement of many old school Republicans, but Trump isn’t an old school Republican. It makes sense that more intellectually honest Republicans, even if I disagree with them immensely, aren’t interested in another Trump term.

    Unless you have something productive and realistic to recommend on how we both stop fascist accelerationism by defeating Trump, and also gain more progressive leadership than Harris, I honestly don’t want to hear what you have to say, because I have friends and family that might not survive a second Trump term. A couple of people close to me didn’t survive the first Trump term…

    (And you can leave third parties at the door, because I’ve already made it clear I don’t want another Trump term)







  • Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

    I think you would be shocked if you learned what some other things in our world cost in CO2.

    The energy costs of cryptocurrency mining are easy to calculate because the system is extremely transparent. AI is a little muddier, but we know how much big tech is expanding data centers, and we know how many enterprise GPUs Nvidia sells, so we get a decent estimate.

    But these things don’t actually do as much damage as compared to other things. Imagine how much energy is used for Gaming PCs and consoles. It’s probably up there with Crypto and AI if you consider all running consoles and PCs, plus all the multiplayer infrastructure. But we don’t have numbers because this is hard to calculate.

    And then there’s stuff like personal automobiles, that completely blow these other things out-of-the-water.
