  • Protectionism is a valid reason to deny it

    No it isn't. Protectionism is jingoist bullshit. Always has been, always will be.

    I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?

    Definitely. The leadership of both major US parties are pretty much owned by the fossil fuel industries.

    Even progressives advocating for the Green New Deal won't say the part about gradually eliminating fossil fuel use out loud out of fear of fossil fuel industry lobbyists and the politicians they own doing an AIPAC.

    Or is that too far fetched

    Not at all.

  • George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeats Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York Democratic primary
  • That'll happen when one candidate outspends the other 7 to 1 with the blood money of a fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide and the endorsement of the establishment.

    Taking money from AIPAC isn't any better than taking money from the Russian or Saudi governments.

  • Republican support for marriage equality drops as conservatives ramp up anti-trans panic
  • It's an interesting wager that more people hate than not

    People in general? Probably not.

    Republicans? Definitely.

    I don't think it's compatible with the upcoming generations' perspectives, which is why I assume they are investing so much into radicalizing children on social media. More soldiers for the culture war.

    Bullseye.

    I don't appreciate that.

    I also don't appreciate that apparently my opinion doesn't matter, since "I'm not a resident of the EU" is a required field.

    Which it of course is because they want to get past common sense EU regulations restricting their ability to infest people's devices with malware.
