We need to stand for humanitarian values in the face of a soulless, merciless insistence that profit matters more than people, animals or even the earth itself.

Anything short of that (and the courage it requires) and we’re acquiescing to a lifeless, unethical institutional machinery that will inevitably lead to civilization’s demise.

No money to ukraine, free palestine. Adopt those policies and youll get my vote. Until then somehow the religious zealot cornel west gets it. I hate voting for someone so batshit crazy but i vote on policy and we need to be anti war and support palestinians

Philosophers may pat themselves on the back for recognising the problem. Politicians are expected to deliver the solution. "Stand for humanitarian values" is not an actionable policy.

Was planning on voting for you, until I saw the lack of courage around gender ideology the new misogyny. Women erased in language and law, gay kids being medically transitioned! Watch one detransitioner speak and you’ll see. Female athletes ignored. Courage!
