He was old and frail though. And the American public needed to know this.

If people had realized this sooner maybe we could have had a real primary with a strong candidate that could have beaten Trump.

I feel like most slander is constructed in a way that makes it very hard to disprove. Which could mean this will just turn into pointless bickering.

However, I do hate the witch hunting that happens on here sometimes so I’ll check it out at least.

What? You mean I’ve been doing this internet thing wrong this whole time?

Someone really needs to put Bukele in his place…

Sounds cool! I’ve always had a hard time finding political spaces where I fit online as someone with very far left views but also a keen sense for practical and realistic strategy. Seems like I can pick one or the other but not both.

And the immigrants who are literally being put in camps as we speak…

That would solve it but it’s a collective action problem. First few would be harshly punished and that keeps such an idea from gaining momentum.

Also, there are millions of fascists who think this is great in California. It’s not as left as people elsewhere think it is. So getting that level of solidarity would be a challenge.

I disagree. The east coast is quite plainly the Atlantic coast, including part of the South. If you mean Northeast, just say that.

All presidents are wrong, some are useful.

Absolutely. The article suggests that tree planting in LA is impossible because it’s too built up. Complete nonsense. If we took even a small fraction of the car infrastructure and turned it to planting space, LA could have ample tree cover.

I think we were discussing western prices. Need to compare like to like.

Though, if anyone has experience with electric moto prices in Vietnam, that would be even more relevant.

I don’t know enough about Vietnam to speak to the transportation options there but in most parts of the world there are good low-carbon alternatives now. E-bicycles in particular are an affordable transit revolution that should be affordable to anyone who can afford a motorbike.

People who burn fossil fuels are not the poorest of the poor. The real poor are the ones who will suffer and die if we don’t get off of fossil fuels immediately.

I would personally go a lot further than this narrow policy but given the current emergency I can’t really be critical of any move in the right direction.
