It’s a good option to have, imo. People will try to commit suicide, even without this.

They’ll fail and become a larger burden to society in a lot of cases. Or run up medical bills and exist miserably.

With this method, folks who are interested have to clear a hurdle beyond their own emotions and survival instincts.

If they’re committed to the act, this ensures a dignified end vs many terminal conditions.

Suffering near end of life can be horribly tortuous. The ability to end the suffering on your terms with dignity is a benefit to society and those suffering.

Do you feel hospice care is a bad thing? It’s one step removed from assisted suicide in many ways.

In hospice care they often give you enough drugs to end it quickly, and instruct the caregivers to NOT call emergency services.

We’re all going to die, at least we can make it somewhat civil.

A second department, no less, to improve efficiency in the government.

The GAO exists.

Are two efficiency offices more efficient than one?

The DNC and RNC are 527 non profit companies.

In a country where money == speech and corporations are allowed to use their freedom to speak freely.

They’re actively supporting the largest voices in the room, corporations.

The primaries that the winning candidate refused to participate in? Check your fairness a little closer.

The turd has been given special treatment at every turn.

Calling for a cease fire is definitely the same as what you wrote. /s

Rewriting history isn’t supposed to be on the schedule for freedom loving folks.

Someone else assembled this reference for those ignorant of the news.

Maybe you missed the statements calling for a cease fire.

You’re welcome to hold an opinion. I could have believed you were ill informed and not actively acting in bad faith.

You continued responding after this comment was posted illustrating how you were actively lying and trying to subvert the facts.

https://midwest.social/post/19205574/13516874

It’s very clear from those paying attention she did take a different position from the same as Trump.

Stop lying.

No, that undecided group does not exist, this election clearly demonstrated that.

That’s what you wrote. You are backtracking on that statement now?

We know that ~16 million people didn’t vote this time vs 2020. We know that around 60% of all possible voters participated in 2020. We don’t know what that ~50-60% in (2024) actually want because they couldn’t be convinced to decide. That is the definition of undecided. That is literally ~50% of registered voting people who left the choice undecided. A group you claim to be non-existent.

If they wanted to protest vote, they should and could have en masse voted for ‘Gaza Freedom’ or ‘No Fascism’ or any coordinated name as a write-in.

Several parties suggested it during their primaries. I can’t find evidence of it occurring in those primaries.

At least 12 states have no registration requirement for their write-in votes on final elections. Most don’t require it on primaries.

That didn’t happen or wasn’t reported. The evidence suggests the former.

I’d be more accepting of your claim if the facts actually supported your narrative.

The numbers show that only about 60% of people who can vote actually decided.

40% didn’t decide even after considering.

Beyond that there’s still 40% of the population who didn’t even decide to consider voting.

Which group of undecided voting eligible citizens do you claim as non-existent?

You didn’t say exactly what I said.

Your initial statement was in disagreement with the statement regarding undecided voters.

Apologies, I didn’t figure the math right. ~16 million.

I disagree.

Your first statement was that an undecided voter group didn’t exist.

That’s what I’m responding to.

Undecided did exist as ~16 million fewer votes were cast. Those could be protest votes could be voter roll purges…

We don’t know what they’ve decided because they didn’t decide in a way that is counted.

That is all.

They can claim whatever reason they want. They abdicated their voices this time. Hope they’re able to use them again.

I’m sure your protest vote will be heard by Trump and the senseless murder.

Y’all literally are like I don’t care the other guy wants to expel all Muslims (& anyone they don’t like) from the country and accelerate the genocide - she’s not breaking the law to stop another country who’s committing murder on the taxpayer dollar.

She’s not screaming exactly what I want to hear. I believe the president controls the whole world.

Therefore I choose to accelerate the genocide from someone who wants muslims and people associated with that skin color out of the country, because what matters to me is how quickly the yahoos finish the job.

That’s your argument right now.

Weave harder, you’re almost convincing folks you actually understand and aren’t in favor of Gazan eradication.

Your cake day, aka account origination date, is very recent. You claim you warned folks. You haven’t been around on here long enough to do that at all.

Nice contradictory paragraphs. I only engaged with you to determine which flag you’re waving. It’s clearly been the one I called you on to begin with.

Paraphrasing you for anyone who doesn’t want to read a bunch of half recalled (mis)information:

I won’t do any homework to discuss my point. Believe me bro, because I totally said so.

Do your homework to figure out what my weave actually means. I’m not backing up any of my allegations with facts, I don’t believe it’s worth the time. I told you to do something.

Ok. What solution do you have that will work?

Please, elaborate on a working solution.

Do you have anything realistic that can change the results of citizens united vs FEC’s ruling?

You said you warned us, but your cake day is not old enough to account for that. You’re lying or you’ve been banned for being what you are.

I’m discussing facts with a bad faith actor. I’m looking for your true colors.

Yes please, tell us how marxists and leninists will save humanity and not be the same as it ever was and always has been.

Yeah, you’re acting in bad faith here too.

The numbers of votes clearly show over 24 million people sat out 2024 vs 2020.

Undecided doesn’t mean they’ll make a decision on voting day.

I know of several people who willingly sat out because the state they’re in was always decided and they didn’t feel it would matter.

So you don’t acknowledge when you’re wrong, and will continue to move goalposts. You’re taking a defensive posture.

It’s becoming clear now.

You’re a bad faith actor.

I agree, optics matter to the public and media.

The media has sane washed an insane old person, while negatively spinning or outright ignoring any Biden accomplishment.

The fact is, in this system, we’re trying to convince a small group of undecided folks in a few swing states to get involved and make a choice.

The majority of the public is too tired and busy to bother to review the facts, and happy to watch an opinion of the matter - whether it’s true or not.

If it fits into their world-view there’s no need to challenge it.

I’m partially agreeing, I want to point out that they did get 7 days allotted.

Not all 7 of those are from sick time, so you’ve got a point.

I find it a reach to say the administration gets no credit when it’s definitely been assigned to them on multiple fronts for the effort.

Congress was involved here too. Do you think our president should be a despot?

Were you directly involved in negotiations?

The people who were directly involved, gave the Biden administration credit for an assist.

Not trying to be rude, the media cycle buried that result.

The unions got the sick leave, after the media reported the strike ended without it.

It was accomplished a couple weeks later, if I recall correctly.

If you’re asking in good faith… Most of lemmy.ml is a tankie echo chamber that silences or outright bans any dissenting discussion.

Try bringing up the facts surrounding Russia, China, Cuba, or North Korea…

Only lies and good vibes for tankies are permitted.

Great; more extended sequence CGI montages, coming to your nearest IMAX theater.

I’m good after 2 worm sessions. Thanks.
