And this criticism of ‘the greens only show up every 4 years’ is in bad faith.

No, it’s really not. The Mayor of Galesburg, IL, a town of 30.000 is the highest office any green politician holds in the US. This is fucking ridiculous.

By their own admission, only 130 Greens are currently in office in highly influential positions such as Zoning Board of Appeals Alternate or Cemetery Trust Fund Committee. This party is a fucking joke. And that’s the party whose presidential candidate accepts an invitation from Putin.

still taking Russian oil

That’s a lie

Also: Germany’s coal power production drops to lowest level in 60 years in 2023

Stop with that bullshit

How is that a better solution than using another messenger app?

Not if your goal is to reach net zero emissions at some point

There are definitely use cases for battery-electric trains:

• We have these in Germany usually in areas with low traffic. E.g. if a train line is only serviced a couple of times a day, it’s more cost-effective to carry the batteries with you than to electrify the line.
• Another use case are train ferries. They are the reason why Germany also had Diesel-powered high-speed trains for a while.
• Another challenge in Europe is the lack of harmonization of power supplies of train lines between countries. In cross-border traffic, trains have to be adapted to work with different energy supplies. Battery-electric trains can add flexibility for these scenarios. E.g. Germany uses AC 15 kV 16.7Hz, the Netherlands DC 1.5 kV on low-speed and AC 25 kV 50Hz on high-speed lines. When a train goes from the Netherlands to Germany, it disconnects from the Dutch system and reconnects to the German system on the fly. For a moment in between, the train loses power. If the train lacks momentum or has to stop unexpectedly, the train is stranded and has to be pushed over the border by another train that is independent of the power supply.

Yeah, interesting that the supposedly left-leaning Stein sits next to an openly right-wing nationalist conspiracy nutjob whose last book title was:

Der Putsch des Establishments gegen Donald Trump

The establishment coup against Donald Trump

Funny how your 3 week old account only posts about Harris, never about Trump or any other topic. You seem to have a very weird obsession with her

Because most people have their phone on vibrate 100% of the time. I had a OnePlus and my slider got stuck. Couldn’t change the setting for 2 years but as it was stuck in vibrate, it didn’t matter anyway.

Hm… let’s see, we let in Hungary, there’s a strong push against messenger encryption, and we kill a lot of people at our outer border. Yep, we’re great.

I’m not American and I did vote for the green party in my country where it makes sense because our voting system is not as shitty as yours. It doesn’t make sense in the US though especially with Project 2025 looming over everything.

I think you misunderstood democracy. You can vote for whoever you want, until Trump abolishes democracy that is, but you can still be ridiculed for your decision.

A child making dumb decisions is to be expected. as you are old enough to vote, you don’t have that excuse.

You’re not being bullied, you’re being ridiculed, big difference.

But there’s something very good about these articles: MAGAts like strength or what they think strength is and articles talking about humiliation are not helpful for Trump.

The article is pretty well done and shows exactly why this discussion is moot. There’s simply no merit to the accusation, plain and simple.

If an accusation comes from Russia and only from Russia, it’s part of their misinformation warfare. That’s not ad-hominem, that’s paying some fucking attention.

Okay, then it’s exactly what I thought. Thanks!

I mean, I like Elon

Honest question, why?

True, Breezy is just one example. But that’s not the ones they were discussing with.

Is that remorse here in the room with us?

Just to make clear what I mean:

he said it’s the biggest mistake of his life - I sure fucking hope so. This is an empty statement, of course it is.

and he has to bear the consequences - that’s what grinds my gears. No, he doesn’t bear the consequences, his victim does. I would like for him just once to acknowledge that there is an actual victim here and it’s not him. He destroyed her life. Even that carefully crafted PR statement you posted here only ominously mentioned “those involved”. He doesn’t mention her, his organization doesn’t mention her. He calls it a misstep and a mistake, he doesn’t call it what it is, child rape.

If he were truly reformed, he would acknowledge what kind of pain his continuous presence in the public eye inflicts on his victim and others like her and would actually bear the consequences - step down on his own.

pro-genocide Biden cultists

Go outside, take a breath, you need it

There is no proof that he is a pedophile.

Not entirely sure where you’re going with this. He’s not an irredeemable asshole because he might be a pedophile, he’s an irredeemable asshole because he raped a child and that’s indisputable.
