Never kill yourself for something that's somebody else's fault.

If they do this, it is further confirmation that we are actually living in a fascist state.

Okay, fine: to the extent that a non-genocide position existed, Harris was it.

But the real point is that even if a person disagrees with you about that, they still should've voted for Harris. She was at least objectively not more genocidal than Trump, and infinitely better on basically every other issue.

Why isn't Lisa Tate being arrested for labor law violations?

Any action other than voting for the only candidate that could beat Trump was effectively a vote for Trump. End of.

Nope, that has the same effect as not voting.

No, it's stupider than that. Even the private forecasts rely on the NOAA infrastructure they're shutting off, like observatories and satellites!

$1,000 gets you a Lectric XPress e-bike, possibly the cheapest option that meets all my city criteria. If you want a more established brand

I'm pretty sure Lectric is one of the biggest e-bike brands in the US by number of sales. How much more "established" can you get?

That's just the excuse they use to get their base to turn their brains off.

Well of course, but they're a roaring success for the people the instigators of the policies actually give a shit about.

Could very well be. I'm using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

I read an article once about a guy who grew up in a poor rural area in the US that changed my opinion a bit. He talked about how progressive and left leaning people want to help the poor and uneducated, but typically only in major city centers.

I think I know the article you're talking about (although I'm having a hard time finding it again), but I don't think that's quite what it said.

It's more like progressives are perceived by rural people as not wanting to help them, because the type of help they offer is assistance in moving or retraining or otherwise changing in order for their lives to improve. This is because the progressives understand (correctly) that the jobs that used to sustain the small towns are never coming back, regardless of how much the rural people want them to.

The writer then pointed out (also correctly) that this "elitist" approach was not effective in solving the problem.

Unfortunately, I don't remember what the author's conclusion/recommendation of a better strategy was.
