Raging narcissism

Solidarity and community. Which is both getting help and offering it in return.

I attend mental health support groups and participate in online spaces dedicated to my hobby. It keeps me feeling useful as a disabled adult.

If you think poor voter turnout due to funding a genocide the last year and breaking up college protests isn't the issue, but the green party is, you may want to reread your comment because it's pretty fucking ironic

Nader was more popular than Stein. Stein votes this cycle will be protest votes.

If Stein wasn't on the ticket or other third party candidates, the protest voters wouldn't vote for Harris.

They'd simply stay home.

It's Palestine that will lose the Dems this election if it's lost. Or fuckery by Trump in Georgia.

Either way the biggest danger to the Dems is poor voter turnout. And it's funding a genocide that's going to cause that, not the green party.

They were here before.

But once Biden dropped the down votes for criticism of the Democrats got fierce.

That's all I'm saying.

It's not voters she's courting with her center right politics.

It's corporate campaign donors who are afraid of Trump's instability.

Shrink flation is a form of price gouging because it's deceptive.

Before inflation hit I bought the same brand of chips for over a year. The company both raised the prices and reduce the size of the container.

Effectively raising the price on me twice while hiding half of the price increase.

Once I saw that they had reduced the size of the bag of chips by 20%, and had tried to price gouge me, I switched to a different brand of chips.

Some inflation is going to happen naturally and I accept that. But this was not natural inflation where corporations had to raise the prices. It was greed.

The initial price increase was enough to cover inflation. The rest went to shareholders. If the price increase had been fair, they wouldn't have hid it behind shrinkflation.

They weren't lying. You're spreading misinformation that's killing children, which is bad. And continually refuse to engage with anything other than your preconceived opinions when literally everyone is disagreeing with you, which is small-minded.

Also, I'll point out, you're playing the victim here. While perpetuating rhetoric that's literally killing children. A bit DARVO, imo. Definitely not good faith arguments. Can't blame anyone for not wanting to engage with you.
