@lemmy.worldAlso just following the green party a bit and educating your self about them... you learn that the green party is as focused on selfish personal horse race politics that deals with power plays, as the dem party (though on a smaller scale) instead of actual change.
This political cycle, Green party had a chance to radically push the Dems on palestine, by putting up a candidate that would drop out if Dems changed their position on support for Israel.
Jill Stein rejected it.
Just the fact they rejected it shows to me that they're not serious about actual political change. They just want to be a spoiler. They continue to only run in general elections instead ofnpushing in states.
So I guess i have no home party, but Ill vote for the lesser of two evils still.
This is what Im doing for now, also trying to subscribe to a bunch of stuff.
But Im newbhear and still browse reddit some as I figure all this out.
Now if only my favorite twitter followers would switch to mastadon...
But thats fine, because horses dont run on sequestered carbon.
I'm not saying I want us to switch to horses. I would rather we switch to bikes, but we really dont conceptualize the full cost of cars.
Well, youre mostly right about cars, but mostly because we decided to ignore certain costs (climate change).
Yeah. Good point.
I guess a thought I had is that instead of school busses, what if we used a public transit option for everyone? But then everyone would need to use it and we're not there.
School busses are def better than everyone driving their own students to school and back. So that was something I missed in my initial post.
Im just over the whole "ev revolution" but taking that out on busses is silly.
The way Harris refuses to court her own voting base never ceases to disturb me
Ftfy.
Its not on voters. Voters will do what they will do. Its on politicians who we vote for. Also I will be voting for Harris and also protesting at every event where I can to demand this apartheid and genocide to end.
Evs are nice, but not a solution. Walkable bikable cities are the way we get out of this climate mess.
