And this is why celebrity endorsements matter.
Good call. When your "role model" (for lack of a better term) takes a position on something, it tends to give it more credence to the target audience.
I have a great deal of respect for Bernie Sanders, so his words carry some weight with me. He is being a voice of reason.
We definitely need better ways of dealing with cops when they are the bad guys. Maybe some sort of police police.
Selfless acts of courage often come at a very high price. The phrase "sticking your neck out" has certain implications.
CAFOs are an endless nightmare.
Although I'm not opposed to meat in principle I am opposed to factory farming and thus stopped eating meat and using other animal products several years ago.
If I was sitting in a jury, I'd certainly consider it valid
No politically viable candidate will have environmental policies sufficient to properly address climate change. We are so unbelievably behind the 8-ball on this.
Maybe the system is set up to limit the power of protest voting?
It absolutely is set up that way. This may or may not have been the intent of our election system, but it is the outcome.
And buying a Tesla supports Elon Musk, so that isn't great either.
They screamed at Bernie when he endorsed Clinton after she got the DNC nomination in 2016. They called him "sell out" and such.
I'd really like to see someone who has the power to actually do something stand up to Israel and knock them down a peg or 2.
The information that I've seen about Israel's attack on Iran over the weekend has some outrageous levels of discrepancy. Israel claims it crippled all of Iran's air defenses and its ability to produce drones and missiles. Iran claims it intercepted the attack with limited damage (and a few confirmed fatalities). The truth is almost certainly between these 2 points with tons of propaganda and straight-up misinformation, but despite the "Iran Dome" bravado I'm not convinced that Iran's defense was particularly successful.
I am no fan of Iran by any stretch and would prefer a more benign entity to step in and do something, but seeing them keep Israel in check would have been a welcome change. I guess my mindset is that you never really want one group to have too much power over others because being able to act with impunity opens the door for the worst types of behavior.
Assist Israel?
They aren't the ones who need the help.
