The president is not elected directly by the people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election

“The election of the president and vice president of the United States is an indirect election…”

You think basic human rights are idealism?

No wonder the Democrat’s approval rating is so low. Your party is so spineless.

My problem isn’t how fast we’re losing, it’s that the supposed “opposition” is pretty openly not fighting.

Their strategy is currently losing the war, as well as social issues

Getting through Leviticus or Numbers is such a slog. There’s some juicy stuff in there, but the record-keeping parts get real old, real fast.

• Vetos a bill to cap insulin prices.
• Vetos bills to build social and LGBTQ+ teen housing
• Vetos a bill to provide hearing-aids to kids
• Vetos a bill to make the rich pay taxes
• Ran on a single-payer healthcare system, then immediately backes down
• Vetos a bill to let striking workers keep their insurance
• Vetos a bill that banned employers from retalliating against picketers
• Proudly does a photo-op while destroying peoples homes

BUT AT LEAST WE CAN BE SMUG THAT WE DIDN’T SETTLE FOR LESS THAN PERFECT.

I’m not sure you understand what the word “Perfect” means. We’re not asking for an angel, we’re only asking for a candidate that isn’t a monster. But the Democrats refuse to let us have that as an option.

I’m not sure you understand my position. I’m against the Democrats and the Republicans. I don’t think voting will be our solution. I’m pretty sure that I never said we can reform it, and I think we’re gonna have to tear it all down and start over.

Have they tried just doing what would help the general public?

They’ve made it pretty clear that they’d rather keep losing, as long as it keeps their rich donors happy.

You mean the organization that Obama and Biden supported, and used to disappear people?

I don’t think “sucks so much more” is all that accurate though. Both candidates do want to fuck the world.

Where were the checks and balances when the Democrats were Drone-Striking kids? Where were the checks and balances when the Democrats were mass-deporting people? Where were the Checks and balances for torture programs, killing americans, giving our tax money to their rich friends, building out surveillance programs, backing a genocide, etc?

Yes, one side is worse, but the supposed “opposition” is doing everything they can to get as close to the worse side as they can.

I have to be oncall sometimes, and my teammates know that when they hear “kburgugh”, that means I’ll be online in a few minutes

It looks like someone made a fork based on a toddler’s drawing of a fork

Hillary won the popular vote, and Obama was one of our most popular presidents. While yes, sexism and racism played a role in Harris’ failure, it wasn’t the main problem. Her being a terrible politician, running a terrible campaign, on the coat-tails of a terrible president was the main problem.

Do you mean Subverse? Searching for Subspace is just redirecting me to Subverse, but maybe I’m missing it

Nice! I use Debian all-day every-day, and I think it’s a great starting distro, if a bit dated sometimes. I’d be a little cautious of Debian 13 as it just came out of testing, so it might have some lingering bugs. But if it works for you, then it works :)

Don’t let the haters get you down. As a long time linux-enthousiast, you are 100% correct. It absolutely still has troubles and doesn’t “just work”. it’s a lot better than it used to be, and it’s on a great upwards trajectory!

But we as a community are overly dismissive of real problems, and I think that does a lot of damage to our reputation.

And yet you’ll bang your head against the wall of third parties that have failed to achieve anything whatsoever in over 150 years.

Yes. I still think that is going to be faster than the Democratic leadership changing their core values.

I don’t know of any who were targeted merely for speech…

This happened during the anti-genocide college protests. He also arrested people who protested his speeches.
