My man!
Want everything in your life to be political? There’s a lens for that!
Or, you can have sand
Politics does influence almost every aspect of life whether we think about it or not.
Especially for people in minority groups, where sometimes simply existing as they are is political enough.
Right. Concept of “lens”
Chemistry influences every aspect of our lives whether we think about it or not. Gravity does too. As does complexity and information theory, and the English language, and our clothing, and the fact we tend to build architecture in rectilinear shapes.
All of these things are ubiquitous things that permeate everything whether you think about them or not.
Choosing to think about them is called a “lens”.
The horror that it is when I don’t want to indirectly support policies I don’t agree with.
I bet you probably don’t want to help mass-murdering pedophiles either but here you are exhaling CO2 which will get incorporated into a plant that some mass murdering pedophile will eat.
Just draw in your sphere of concern to that which you can actually affect with a reasonable degree of predictive accuracy.
This way you kill two birds with one stone: you maximize the amount of actual good you create, while minimizing the sort of mental allergic reactions that come from chasing after smaller and smaller, more and more distant and ambiguous causal connections to global events.
Perhaps I misunderstood your use of the word “indirectly support”?
How would you find yourself indirectly supporting bad policies?

You literally can’t even love who you want without it being political; religion, race, gender, sex, class/caste, etc. have all been used by autocratic and democratic governments to prohibit people from falling in love, having consensual relationships, and/or starting a family.
You can’t love who you want to live without a lot of neurological activity too. So neurology is a lens you could view love through. So is religion, chemistry, math, game theory, philosophy, sports, evolutionary theory, etc
People reading this thread: if you do not understand what the concept of a “lens” is in this context, please stop skipping over that fact. Either go look it up, or admit you don’t know. Don’t just barrel forward ignoring my point.
The website doesn’t seem to load for me. It briefly shows the info for a split second but replaces it with a white screen.
Capitalism and it’s exploitation is bipartisan.
There is 0 reason this should be an app. Stop making shitty apps and just have proper websites.
To be fair you can get to the list on the site.

Politicians should wear company logos like racing drivers so we know who they are sponsored by.
Second time I’ve seen someone mention Mystery Men in three days. This is Amazing
You’re Amazing
It’s an amazing movie
Tl;dr they all support both sides so no matter the election they always get what they want.

The trick is to pick the lesser of the two evils.
50 years of that has produced an evil so large we don’t even recognize evil any longer.
And not voting will solve that how exactly?
Doesnt hurt, doesnt help. Voting is more an illusion of participation, complete with an “I Voted” participation trophy.
Inaction is worse than picking the lesser of two evils.
My inaction isnt getting Palestinians killed, my inaction hasnt caused the highest spike in homelessness ever seen, my inaction isnt causing a rise in suicides, my inaction isnt causing stagnant wages. If allowing the deaths of brown people is seen as the lesser evil then there is a serious problem with the mental health and empathy of Americans. If the tables were turned and Trump was currently in the WH, liberals would be calling out all the injustices they are currently turning a blind eye to. But the lesser evil they accept year after year, decade after decade, has grown so enormous they can no longer see evil for what it is. They have become the evil they claimed they were voting against
Your vote is yours to throw away if you want to.
But it’s kind of an insult to everyone who fought to let you do that.
Our votes do nothing to impact politicians or policy. The needs of capital will always be addressed while we get left over table scraps, that inevitably still benefit capital.
How’s the weather over in Russia? If that’s your take then you should stfu about anything related to politics. If you don’t vote, you don’t get a voice and nobody wants to listen to you.
Joseph McCarthy wants his old tired Russians everywhere tropes back. Democrats voted against Trump and got his policies anyway. Hows that worked out for ya?
No, what is an insult is the American electoral system where at the end of the day, your individual vote means nothing. Your so called representatives do not work for you. They only represent you only paper. They are there to enrich themselves through corporate dollar and stocks, because capitalism and individualism.

The issue with that sentiment is that a significant amount of the population simply can’t afford to be picky. They buy the cheapest available version of whatever they need because that’s what they can afford. All of the power of consumer choice is slowly being stripped away as more and more people are pushed into poverty, and that’s by design.
For tax purposes and to lobby for pet projects, yes they lobby both sides. Some corporations lobby for ideological issues. You will find that the vast majority of them get republican support. Plenty of not-for-profits lobby the left as well but you’re not buying their products and paying for ideologies you may not agree with.
Praise Iteus!

It disappears really quickly for me but I managed to screenshot it, it says
“This company has halted PAC donations to the 147 Republicans who refused to certify the 2020 election. Good job Google!”

This site would be fantastic if they supplied product lists and alternatives.
Great site! Thanks for sharing.
Most of the companies I’ve looked up so far are donating pretty equally to both parties. Except Honda, they’re pretty heavily invested in the Democrat party.
Edit: I found one with a perfect score! Kawasaki motors. That’s great, because I love their bikes!
Excellent. My insurance provider donates to shitty Republicans and I have zero choice to switch companies.
Major League Baseball?
Shit.
You should know that this app has a shit ton of trackers and ads … GTFO with that shit
