‘Uncommitted’ Campaign in Michigan Shatters Expectations Against Biden
  • You can vote your conscious. That’s what these people are doing.

    They will not vote for Biden unless he is against genocide in words and action.

    People are taking a stand. They will not vote for a genocide supporter.

  • It came in at 3 meters per second… I just looked it up average man (recreational runners not couch potatoes) I think can sprint at about 3.25 meters per second. So that’s like a man sprinting into a dust covered brick wall. 7.27 miles per hour. But I assumed it bounced more with the lower gravity.

  • I’ve already asked myself these questions.

    About twenty years ago I made the hard decision to never vote for a self identifying neoliberal president. I made this decision after reading years of articles proving that neoliberal economic policies not only don’t work, but make the problems worse. I did vote for Obama so I guess it’s technically been less than 20 years. When the DNC decided and argued in court they are not beholden to voters, nor are they required to follow their own established rules, that’s what finally gave me the courage to stand by my conviction on this issue.

    I vote every election, every year and every primary.

    Thankfully I live in a state that was purple but has since gone blue. Biden will get our electoral points for my state I am hopeful. But I’m not going to bubble in either Biden nor Trump.

    If you feel your decision is the answer to what you believe is the only important question, then vote for who you feel that you must. I do see your point. But I believe there are more important questions that I regularly ask myself and base who I vote for on that.

  • Idaho set to execute Thomas Eugene Creech, one of the longest-serving death row inmates in the US
  • And this is why victims do not get be the arbiters of justice, nor should they.

    This is why we have judges and juries. But enforcing a death penalty generally causes more trauma than it serves justice.

    This is why over 70% of the world’s countries have abolished or de facto abolished capital punishment. It doesn’t work, it doesn’t serve justice, and it only continues the cycle of violence.

    Just to give you an idea of how backwards the United States is on this issue:

    Since 1990, at least 11 countries have executed offenders who were minors (under the age of 18 or 21) at the time the crime was committed, which is a breach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by all countries but the United States. These are: China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Sudan, the United States, and Yemen.[11][12][13] In the United States, this ended in 2005 with the Supreme Court case Roper v. Simmons, in Nigeria in 2015 by a law,[14] and in Saudi Arabia in 2020 by royal decree.

    Edit: I can’t claim to understand how you feel about your experience and what happened to you, which is why I didn’t address it. I hope that you and your loved ones have access to therapy and the ability to live your lives in peace.

    This is why victims are not on the juries of their perpetrators. If we allow feelings and emotions to get in the way of a fair unbiased justice system, it’s not the way we should do things.
