another user said it’s like how christians call non-believers sinners. that makes sense to me.

lemmy with extra censorship tools

make any excuse you want. you don’t know anything about me.

didn’t you literally run away instead of staying and fighting in america?

There’s no practical downside?

inconvenience, social ostracization, and aesthetic deprivation are actual downsides. further you don’t actually know what is good for them: you’re not their doctor. finally, it would be better for the animals if it shrunk industry. the industry grows every year, so it is not any better for the animals.

why not do the little extra step of going vegan?

because it’s ineffective at addressing the issues facing the environment.

Animal agriculture accounts for 40-60% of total emissions.

all of agriculture is only about 20% of our emissions, so this just can’t be true.

if i’m told my vote won’t count, why would i vote?

veganism is quantifiably healthier and correlated with longevity.

in some respects for some people. some of the studies (china study, for instance) have been debunked, though.

you aren’t a dietician. even if you are (i admit, i was guessing), you aren’t my dietician, so maybe you shouldn’t be telling other people what a healthy diet would be for them.

I’ve been told my vote won’t matter if I don’t vote for the right candidate. that’s voter suppression if I’ve ever seen it

but if I vote for Biden, he might win. I don’t want that, either

it’s not for them, it’s for anyone who might be taken in by them.

and i can’t bring myself to think of them in dehumanizing terms like “bot” or even “shill”. that level of discourse is toxic and thought-terminating. we should elevate the conversation.

this is election misinformation. my vote must be counted like anybody else.

this is election misinformation. my vote must be counted just like everyone else.

the people responsible for the victory of any candidate are the people who vote for that candidate. I’ll be voting against trump

it’s not biden’s vote, it’s mine, and Biden needs to earn it if he wants it.

only a vote for a candidate helps that candidate.

a vote for West is a vote against Trump and Biden.

it’s not biden’s vote, it’s mine, and Biden needs to earn it if he wants it.

it’s not biden’s vote, it’s mine, and Biden needs to earn it if he wants it.

You are just as much to blame as the Reps if he wins.

no. everyone is only responsible for their own actions. I’ll be voting against trump

any vote that is not for trump is a vote against trump
