I'd rather have a president who's anti-genocide, so I'll be voting for one of the anti-genocide candidates.
You're okay with voting for genocide. I'm not.

I won't vote for anyone who's pro-genocide. You're clearly okay with voting for genocide, but I'm not.

I'll vote for someone who is vocally and demonstrably anti-genocide. If that's neither of the main parties' candidates that's their problem.
I will not vote for genocide.

I won't be voting for either of the two parties' candidates as long as they remain pro-genocide.
If they want my vote they're more than welcome to come out with a strong stance against genocide.
Pretty low bar. If neither candidate is willing to meet it I can only assume they do not want my vote.
If they don't want my vote they either don't think they need it or they're more committed to genocide than winning the election.
It's their call.

A warning sign the Harris campaign has continued to ignore and done nothing to try to win back.
If they think they can win without people who won't vote for genocide, best of luck to them, but they clearly don't want my vote, so I see no reason why I should give it to them.

Both parties are currently fighting each other over who can say they support Israel more right now. They're both falling over each other to do more genocide. I'm not voting for a candidate that supports genocide. I'm especially not voting for a candidate who thinks doubling down on doing genocide is going to get them more votes.

The argument is that continuing to reward genocidal behavior will never result in the party going left to get your vote. You're demonstrating that they can literally missile strike babies and you'll still vote for them. They don't need to do anything to cater to you at all, but hey maybe they'll throw a bone to your racist uncle and maybe he'll vote for them instead of the ghoul the GOP runs 4 years from now.
Why ever give anything to the left when "look at the other side" always gets you to fall in line? You've completely taken yourself off the board, politically.

If you (or anyone else) will never change your vote about it, why would they adjust their position?
You've given them no downside to continuing to support genocide other than the weight of thousands of innocent dead on their consciences. It should be fairly obvious how much that affects them.

What solution is AI going to come up with other than "stop burning fossil fuels"? We already know the solution to climate change. Acting like we don't is absurd.
I think a good first step in meeting climate goals would be eating Eric Schmidt.

It may also happen under Kamala.
All of this "Kamala might be better than Biden or Trump on genocide" is purely based on vibes and not based on anything she's ever done or said.

...and the NLRB agrees with them. Seems like Nexstar is just trying to stall out the clock until there's another Republican in the White House who can gut the NLRB.

The gist is that Portland drivers couldn't stop hitting crucial safety infrastructure (proving its necessity) so PBOT gave up on it. As one of the commenters pointed out: Since a pedestrian/bike fatality costs PBOT nothing and replacing a concrete planter a car has demolished costs them more than nothing, to balance the budget they're going to go with more pedestrian deaths.
I honestly thought it was going to be Adams, but I definitely knew it wasn't going to happen.
This is about the alleged food hall that was going to be coming to the Ritz Carlton Tower. They made a big show about how they'd be offering spots to the food carts they displaced. Well now e-mails are bouncing and there's radio silence from everyone involved about whether there even will be a food hall anymore. It sounds shocking, I know, but it certainly *seems* like the olive branch that they offered to assuage everyone's anger about the food carts they were displacing was a lie.
Here's the fallout from Kotek's decision to stop all tolling, as well as a history of promises made and then broken about tolling. A couple of things I took from this article: * Oregon has reduced GHG emissions for most sectors except transportation * Tolling was part of the plan to reduce transportation emissions * Tolling on the I-5 Bridge will drastically reduce traffic on it, which obviates the need for more lanes * *Only* tolling on I-5 while leaving 205 free creates huge issues * The state was counting on tolling money for all of its projects, so car dependence is hurting car dependence, which is a small silver lining

He filed a police report for someone brushing his shoulder walking through the aisle and then criticizing his homeless policies. Him not riding Max anymore has nothing to do with "violent and antisocial behavior" and everything to do with him being unwilling to face his constituents.
Seems just as unlikely as previous proposals, and also way outside of town (technically Beaverton, but the course is owned by the city of Portland).

This seems to not be based on safety at all and is probably Mapps and Williams spending money PBOT doesn't have because of complaints by business owners that are not based on data. Exactly the kind of stupid decisions I expected Mapps to make when Teddy appointed him.

Some great displays of carbrain in this article. >DeSeta also likened one of the groups advocating for the open street, Transportation Alternatives, to the National Rifle Association. >“TA is a multi-million-dollar not-for-profit lobbying organization. And you know what non-profit lobbyists could be? NRA is a not-for-profit, so, ya know, not-for-profit is a loosey-goosey term,” she said. ... >Like DeSeta, Herb Alter, who lives at 103rd Street and West End Avenue, objected, as many opponents typically do, to the "process" by which decisions were made when he was otherwise engaged. During the pandemic, he said, he and his ill wife decamped to their East Hampton second home — and the first he had heard about the open street was at the local dog run upon his return to the city last year. Basically, a bunch of 70 year-old rich white people who live in a neighborhood where 73% of people do not own cars are trying to get rid of some intense traffic calming the city did during Covid because they lost 13 parking spaces. It boggles the mind that there are people who live in Manhattan and choose to own cars without a dedicated place to keep them.
