I figure I’ll vote PSL again like I did last time since they seem to be among the most principled leftist parties we have in this hellscape. I’ve seen a lot of support for Jill Stein but iirc she has some very weird reactionary conspiracy-brained views. How we feeling? Is running this time around?
edit: to be clear I assume most of the based parties will not be on the ballot in most states, I’ve written in my picks before and I’ll do it again KKKopmala
I just found that her NATOpedia article is surprisingly thorough on her positions. She claimed at one point that wifi signals damage peoples’ brains (that’s the main thing I was remembering) but waved it off later, and at one point was flirting with anti-vax stuff but seems to have backpedaled on that. She’s also staunchly anti-nuclear-power which seems silly though I’m not very informed about that subject. She’s way more based than I thought tbh but PSL is a better party
The PSL is also anti nuclear, but in the “nuclear power is built on exploitation of mines in Africa” kind of way.
Honestly, I saw an article recently that said China is building the equivalent of a nuclear plant every week in renewable energy, so nuclear seems kind of obsolete at this point anyway.
They’re testing thorium molten salt reactors and those seem like a cool advancement in energy generation
I’m not a nuclear scientist, so idk… maybe? But China has the productive forces already developed to implement solar on a massive scale today, and I think that’s the example the rest of the world needs to learn from.
China recently opened a thorium test reactor IIRC, hopefully they can make it efficiently scalable and start exporting them with Belt & Road stuff.
china confirmed reddit power source country
also the USA has good places for big solar farms in for example california, no need for nuclear
Everything I’ve ever heard Jill Stein say about stuff like vaccines has been skeptical of corporate manufacture and oversight and capture of regulatory agencies, not skeptical of vaccines themselves
I wouldn’t be surprised if the wifi thing were similar, skepticism because, well, can you trust the companies making money off of wifi to do their due diligence in determining safety? (the answer is no, but that doesn’t mean wifi isn’t safe)
