Seeing some stuff saying mutual aid is always more important than political donations. Here’s my thoughts:

1. If we get a landslide and maybe even control of the legislature, that means a mandate. And if we keep this energy up after the election, we can push for better social supports or maybe even UBI.

2. Donations aren’t mutually exclusive. I give mutual aid to individuals thoughout the year, and sometimes to causes.

3. I’ve seen the criticism that corporate donations decide everything. But do they have to? When a campaign gets tons of small donations, that causes shifts in media reporting, campaign energy, talking points, governing priorities, and gives an elected political capital towards for-the-people actions during their term. Which is exactly why I made two small donations to Harris’s campaign last weekend. Obama’s mass of small donors was all the talk of the media all 2008 and I still see it referenced. Small donations = INFLUENCE.

small donations have been about 170% of corp donations since the announcement

@alexhammy Nice to hear. I hadn’t looked closely at the math since Sunday. See this is how we change things. Money talks, however broken that is, and if we’re tired of corpos buying elections, then we have to bid higher. Also with our efforts.

4. Outside of the above, generally political donations to local and state campaigns down-ballot are better spent, because anyone turning out to vote for a Dem state race will also vote for the Dem president, and also local politics are, in most years, more important than national for helping folks and maintaining/increasing our freedoms. But sometimes it’s wise to make a strategic move, and I think small donations to her campaign right now is very strategic. Number of donors is more important than total cash.

I don't know if I would use Obama as an example of why average people should give money to politicians... It's not like he listened

Mx. Luna Corbden 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@voxofgod Obama only had support of the senate for six months before it flipped to 50/50. He spent all his political capital on the ACA because the GOP fought him hard every step. If we can use this momentum to crush the GOP, everything could change. I’d love to see the Dems become our right wing and a new progressive/socialist party emerge on the left.

I’m not going to waste this time on cynicism. I’ve had enough of that the past decade. We either push towards positive change now, or lose our chance a lifetime. #USPol

Mx. Luna Corbden 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@voxofgod I was following politics very closely at the time, and there are realities to governing. The President isn’t the king and we have separation of powers that makes getting things done quite hard. Which worked in our favor when Trump was pres. I’m not making excuses, but pointing out that here are realities we have to understand and deal with to get anything done moving forward to THE FUTURE. I’m not interested in wasting energy litigating the past.

And I know more about this than you do clearly, because I could figure out Obama was a fraud during his transition and gave up on him after that

Environmentally, Offshore Wind Is … Fine

How often can you say that about an energy generation system?

https://hakaimagazine.com/news/offshore-wind-is-environmentally-fine/

"To hit the world’s climate goals, projections suggest the world’s offshore wind capacity needs to scale to 2,000 gigawatts by mid-century. That would mean installing a whopping 5,000 new turbines in the ocean every year for the next 25 years."

The harvest goddess held a long brown pod. "The Cacao pod," she said. "Crack them open and scoop out the seeds. Ferment these - very important for flavor! Dry them, roast them, and grind them into a bitter liquor. Add sugar and milk powder, and conch it, temper it, and finally mold it into bars."

"Amazing!" the god of wine replied. "Did you leave clues to help humans figure this out?"

"Clues?" said the goddess. "No! I never knew chocolate was a thing until they made it!"
