The answer to both of these is their constituency. In order to stay in power, the parties need to move in the general direction of their voters. Democratic voters are more likely to be against the attacks on Gaza and the Palestinians. Republican voters are more likely to be in favor of bombing the hell out of “terrorists.”

Therefore, Democrats are more likely to be swayed towards the side of let’s not support Netanyahu. By that chain, less deaths will occur (addendum: with US help) with the Democrats in power.

Right now, Biden is doing business as usual. Same trades and sales to Israel as the US has always done. Trump though has said that he’d just bomb them to “finish the problem.”

Progress is led by the people, not the politicians.

I don’t think there are any good guys here. However, the Democrats are more likely to be swayed away from the fight than Republicans. At the very least, less deaths will occur with Democrats in power than Republicans.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I’ll try that out.

Oh I totally understand that. Not the absurdity is to what end? If a Republican is elected and they take the Senate, then it’ll be more than just giving Israel supplies. The GOP is 100% behind Israel and will be drones in the air and potential boots on the ground within days.

Sorry for the potato quality. These are all of my current missions and, for example, I have really nothing else to do to find Artemis (even though I haven’t. Last thing was them sending me some coordinates to a signal tower). I’ve spent just so many nanites on blueprints and I’ve done 1 Nexus mission, but it wasn’t with another player because I play at weird times and have only ever seen someone in the Nexus once.

To fill things out, my objective for Ghosts in the Machine is “collect nanites to buy technology upgrades” which I’ve done a bunch, and for Atlas Eternal it’s “find a wonder to show the Atlas” which I’ve done a few times with no change (this one feels just like the Base Computer Archives mission that just keeps sending me to the same place over and over).

Correct, but they’re doing so because they believe it ensure Harris won’t win. They aren’t considering the fact that if Harris loses, Trump wins. It’s a stupid and not only pointless but dangerous decision.

Funny enough, that’s exactly who they’re planning on voting for, too! The way they put it, voting for Stein is their way of not voting for Trump but ensuring he beats Harris.

And Trump will just skip the middleman and bomb Gaza and Palestine himself. You’re talking about the guy who moved the embassy to Jerusalem, after all.

This is going to be such a leopard ate my face moment. Do they really think the Republicans are going to do anything? They’re just going to drop some bombs and call it a day. At least with the Democrats there’s a slight chance.

Good to know. I’ve seen people online almost Stargating with this big teleporter and figured things would eventually resolve somehow. I suppose I just need to keep exploring!

I’ve started a settlement, I have a freighter with a bunch of frigates. I have S or A class in every type of ship. I’ve done a could of derelict frigates. I’m still trying to customize my freighter, but man finding modules is hard! Haven’t found any glyphs yet though …

I’m still planning on exploring and playing, I just wasn’t sure if I did something wrong in terms of the story. I think it’s super interesting and compelling, so when it just ended I was thrown for a loop.
