There’s two buses on offer: one goes east, and the other goes further east. Do you get on the bus that goes less east, or do you just start walking west?

Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Was it a good thing that SNW explicitly said the Federation is socialist?English2·1 year agoI admit I’m having trouble finding any transcript of the primary source. It’s supposedly an answer she gave during a local convention and it’s been repeated by enough websites citing each other that I don’t know which one was the original.
I’ll keep trying to find it, though.

Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?English4·1 year agoPalestinians aren’t asking you to vote for Biden, you might notice. Arab Americans are voting for him in significantly lower numbers, in fact. If you want to pretend like you care about victims, maybe listen to them.
And, for what it’s worth, a vote for Biden is a vote for Biden. He doesn’t care if you scold him as long as you vote for him. Any ‘activism’ you engage in ultimately means nothing if you give him your vote at the end of the day.
And really, please quit with the ‘not voting is a vote for Trump’ thing. It’s a vote for Trump as much as it’s a vote for Biden—which is to say, it helps neither. The implicit assumption under saying it helps Trump is that my vote belongs rightfully to Biden.
Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?English4·1 year agoArgue all you want: you’re here saying you’re going to vote for a genocide and scolding others for refusing. If you want to call that moral, I guess I can’t stop you.
Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?English5·1 year agoYes, I refuse to vote for genocide. No, I’m not under the impression de la Cruz will win the presidency.
You do not have the moral high ground here, friend, and trying to talk down to people will not help you reclaim it.
Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?English5·1 year agoAll appearances to the contrary, I am going to vote. I’m voting for the PSL candidate, Claudia de la Cruz, because she does not support genocide.
Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?English8·1 year agoYou can do much more than vote. There’s people getting beat to shit by cops all over the country proving it.
This whole ‘you have a moral obligation to vote for 99% Hitler’ thing is pretty tired, as the logical conclusion of that line of reasoning is that you should vote for Hitler if anyone worse than Hitler is on the ballot.
Adlach@lemmygrad.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DEBATE: Should Muslims vote for Joe Biden in November?English9·1 year agoWhen that one thing is a genocide, I think it’s pretty fair to focus on. We’re not talking about our candidate’s favorite flavor of ice cream.
If neither candidate will stop the genocide, it’s our responsibility to refuse both candidates. Voting for Hindenburg didn’t stop the Holocaust.
