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.

Has voting for the "lesser" evil ever worked either?

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.

If he only started thinking Musk was a dipshit asshole during Covid, then he wasn't paying attention.

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.

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.

I meant in other countries. Rural France is still conservative, for example. So is rural Japan.

Plenty of places with developed rail networks are still conservative in rural places.

 

It's exciting to see that there are actual plans from the new owners of the Lloyd Center.

 

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.

 

Sounds like Ryan and Gonzalez's effort to circumvent democracy is on ice for now.

 

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.
