Yes but see, if we just sit on our hands and don't vote we won't have any responsibility for what follows! Only voting for someone who is less than ideal on this issue is a morally bad choice!

I have no interest in downvoting you, but I would like to say that on priors, I would be surprised to learn that she saw "Hamas" and "Palestinians" as anything other than a distinction without a difference. She's electively of a set with Lindsey "Nuke Gaza" Graham, and she's voting for Trump apparently now, who has been very vocal about his support for the "kill them all" perspective.

Do you have specific evidence that leads you to believe otherwise, or is it more of a charity in humanity thing?

These companies provided access to the required technologies free of charge, for humanitarian purposes.

They don't own it, they don't get paid for it.

I assume poor idiotic people everywhere are being misinformed. It has nothing to do with the specific subset of humanity they belong to, and everything to do with incentive gradients and entrenched power nodes.

If people don't want it, because they are being lied to about it, we should maybe stop the people lying and spread accurate information, before we decide that "it's not the right solution".

"Big corps" aren't involved here. It's a philanthropy project, and from what I can find it's not legally encumbered in any way like Monsanto stuff is. This is entirely Greenpeace doing something that gets headlines, instead of something actually good. Don't forget that that organization, too, has motives, first among which is going to be survival and advancement of the organization.

If just grow carrots lol was adequate, tell me again why people are deficient in the nutrients golden rice has over baseline rice, please.

I did that. I'm also going to vote against more genocide, done not just abroad but at home.

In the voting booth, there is no "no genocide" button. Your choices come down to "more genocide" and "less genocide", and you get to push towards one outcome or the other.

Personally, I'm going to take a brave stance against "more genocide", but if your principles keep you from engaging with the real options, well.

I'm sure the people who die who wouldn't have otherwise will forgive you.

And you can prove that corruption claim? Because the red team has been busting their asses trying to find something, anything, and they have fuck-all. Waaaah he has a failson, that's your knockdown argument?

Or did you mean trump, who keeps losing court cases because he's a corrupt lying rapist with bad taste and hygiene?

Who's making excuses? I just don't care. What office is the president's failson running for again?

FYI: I voted uncommitted to send a message to Biden that I care about Gaza and what happens there. I also recognize that the Republicans will jump in with both feet on "burn it to the ground with nuclear fire", so I did what I could to communicate with Biden, and will also be voting for him in the general. I'm one vote, but I know I'm not the only person with that view.

That just gets you the candidate you want less from the ones provided.
