I ask again, do you support an immediate ceasefire?

And I said yes I do, but I still want Hamas defeated. And in a non-violent way, tho that is very unrealistic in today’s world.

If so how does that square with your ongoing support and promotion of an organisation, the US SWP, that is opposed to an immediate ceasefire?

Because I think the good things they do outweigh the disagreements I have with them. Now you may not, and that is totally your right.

But it’s my right to have my own opinions as well. Even if they differ from yours.

Just like many people who are voting for Harris, even tho they disagree with her on the current political problems and Hamas.

I like the SWP, and I am voting SWP. It’s that simple.

Which organization that I am supporting is against peace in the middle east?

I do wish there was a ceasefire and that they could find peace.

I like the Socialist Workers Party.

cashiers aren’t allowed to sit in USA?

Not in any stores I have seen in my city.

That’s more than I make and I’m a teaching assistant at a public elementary school. Good for them though!

Local and state elections are important, but presidential campaigns can bring attention to third-party issues that are often ignored by the major parties. Building from the bottom up and the top down simultaneously strengthens the movement and shows that third parties are serious about representing the working class at every level of government.

I’m hoping that the higher profile and positive support that De la Cruz’s campaign is getting, lets them focus on other elections after this election passes.

Exactly! I was just saying the same thing in another post!

Whenever I see these articles, I feel like it’s part of OpenAI’s marketing strategy to use the fear-based media to pump up the sense of how revolutionary their tech is

Yep, I think that’s what’s going on too.

The idea that a third party isn’t a real choice under FPTP is a tactic used by the ruling duopoly to keep people feeling powerless. If we dismiss third-party candidates, we’re only allowing the same two parties to hold a monopoly on political power.

Real choice comes from breaking free of this system and standing up for the alternatives that truly represent us.

Meh, that’s how they make their money. Clicks and views.

I agree it’d be nice if they were a bit more creative though.

Once again, the duopoly strikes, proving they’re terrified of giving working people a real choice at the ballot box.

I actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying. Automation can be a fantastic thing if it’s used to benefit everyone, not just the capitalist class. The issue is not opposing automation but ensuring that the gains are shared fairly, so no one is left behind.

The problem isn’t automation itself; it’s how it’s being used. Workers are being replaced without any thought for their well-being or fair compensation.

We need to fight for a system where automation frees us up for better lives, not just fatter profits for the few.

We should be fighting for a reasonable share of the fruits of our community. If your job is automated, you should get a share of the company profits for life and then happily leave for new and different work, not try to prevent the automation in the first place.

Yep, I want that for us too!

Yep!

Ironic statement since you’ve been banned from this sub we’re in right now.

Maybe instead of post content like it’s a part time job

Nah, I’ll keep posting content–especially socialist content. Thanks!

I poked you because I knew bans upset you,

Bans don’t upset me at all. I didn’t even know I had a ban, and it was for one day; the ban was over before I even knew about it.

My post history is public. In fact, here’s a direct link to it: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

See all those socialist posts? Man, that must really bum you out since you like to pretend that I’m a Trump voter. lmao

And unlike you, I don’t care about downvotes. My posts are public, I have nothing to hide, and I stand by everything I’ve said.

You seem to be obsessed about my posts though. I’m about to post some more too. So be sure to update your stats about me that you post over and over! :)

Plus I’m not obligated to explain any of my stances to you. :)

Actually, it takes no effort to respond to you. Because you stalk me and post nonsense. Pretty easy to respond to that.

Lol 3 net upvotes.

Which counts as more than your downvotes. So yeah, I am laughing. Keep trying, I’ll keep laughing.
