I hope you can develop more options in the future, but for this election, there were only two.
I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Again, it’s not a matter of support, it’s a matter of chosing the lesser evil to reduce the potential negative impact. Similarly, if the only way to prevent far right from getting elected is to vote for the right, you would rather not participate in preventing the far right from getting elected?
Terrifying.
If your choice increases the magnitude of the genocide, how could it reduce your complicity?
Sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil, and you did good in the difference.
Thank you for taking the time to give us context.
Limestone pavement is made up of clints (the blocks) and grykes (the fissures or cracks in between). If you peer into the grykes, you’ll discover a rich, hidden world of plants, such as baneberry, green spleenwort, lesser meadow-rue, wood sorrel and herb Robert. The site is rich in ferns, including rigid buckler and hart’s-tongue. https://www.ywt.org.uk/nature-reserves/southerscales-nature-reserve
The geology of the Yorkshire Dales is predominantly of limestone, which gives rise to many spectacular and scenic surface (as well as underground) natural features. One such type of surface feature are the “limestone pavements” - plateaus of bare and weathered rock often being found at the top of the limestone cliffs (known locally as “scars”) running along the hillsides. These were originally formed by the scouring action of glaciers during the last ice age, excellent examples being seen at e.g. the top of Malham Cove, White Scars and Southerscales (near Ingleton) and on the plateau of Moughton (near Austwick).
Due to the mildly corrosive effects of slightly acidic rain water on the limestone (a process which also leads to the formation of caves and potholes in the dales) deep crevases slowly develop in the rock so that the limestone pavements are actually a “mosaic” of interlocking “clints” and “grykes” https://www.yorkshire-dales.com/limestone-pavements.html
So rich people? 18th century bourgeois were probably quite liberal but I bet a lot of current bourgeois are more conservative than liberal, so it’s hard to understand.
So I guess OP means neo-liberal rather than liberal in general.
Is it correct to say that neo-liberal is economically liberal but not socially liberal?
I see American conservatives tend to also use “liberal” to qualify their opponents, but in this case it seems to attack the social liberal specifically (typically about gender, sexuality and origin).
Overall, this single term seems to have a different meaning depending on the political section so it’s hard to understand on such an out of context statement, I wish people would use more precise periphrases.
What’s a liberal according to Lemmy? Economically liberal and socially liberal? Social democrat? Obama or Bernie?
Geology and geography are also helping a lot.
Norway is also a very wealthy nation, which thanks to its huge oil and gas exports, has a sovereign wealth fund worth more than $1.7tn (£1.3tn). This means it can more easily afford big infrastructure-build projects, and absorb the loss of tax revenue from the sale of petrol and diesel cars and their fuel.
The country also has an abundance of renewable hydro electricity, which accounts for 88% of its production capacity. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg52543v6rmo
Probably mostly to create engagement, and it worked.
Isn’t it obvious that people working at a for profit company would earn much more?
We are not in the 2000’ anymore, there are people with 30 years of experience in tech in many other places. Furthermore, internet nonprofit could champion remote working.
I could only see the number of subscribers when searching by community so I picked this one which had more. It’s the same instance, why don’t they talk to each other to merge the communities?
It’s not 15% in favor but 6%.
A Verian poll, commissioned by Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenland’s Sermitsiaq publication, showed 85% of the population on the self-ruling Arctic territory don’t want to be part of the US. About 6% said they’d prefer the country over Denmark and 9% were undecided, according to the survey published Tuesday.
Interestingly, it was worse the year before.

If you choose to build one, I think people at !Buildapc@lemmy.world will be willing to help.
This is a good reference for comparing parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/
Plus, building the PC with your son could be a very exciting teaching experience for him.
Checking the Electronic Frontier Foundation Inc, my cool t-shirts provider. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/43091431
Revenue $17,954,838
92.7% from contributions
7.4% goes to Executive Compensation with the top earner being for Cindy Cohn (Executive Director) $336k, 58% to other salaries.
7% doesn’t seem too bad, but I still wonder if an international free web defending non-profits requires being in SF, one of the most expensive cities in the world. It could probably move to a normal city and cut compensations cost by 2 or 3.
Similar situation for the Wikimedia Foundation Org https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200049703.
You have to work on building a party and preparing a candidate a couple of years in advance, you can’t do that 3 months before the vote, at this point you can only vote for the lesser evil. Are you working on that now?
