That's my point.

I use dawn foaming dish soap dispensers, with non-dawn soap. Suds on demand.

The presidential appointees who struck down Roe V Wade now get an opportunity to let a powerful man off the hook. I don't see Trump facing the music in his lifetime.

I feel even better replacing a new or old sponge with a brush that will never get that awful sponge smell

You understand voting isnt the only form of political action?

I don't know how I could make myself more clear. You won't do any persuading if you don't understand where I'm coming from, read Lenin and Marx if you wanna do that.

Biden opened up two proxy wars in his presidency. What i really want is for neither of them to win.

Republicans are economic liberals. I'm saying they're capitalists. I didn't say both sides are the same. Both sides suck.

American democracy has been overthrown, if it ever existed. Remember citizens united? Corporate monopoly media dictates public opinions, the best-funded candidates win elections and then enact the policy of their donors instead of serving their constituents. This is the nature of bourgeois elections in a capitalist society. The purpose of fascism is to merge corporate and state power to suppress the working class, something that both capitalist parties are hard at work doing, and very well-accomplished.

For instance, both parties relentlessly raise the DoD budget because one of our countries' biggest incomes is the arms trade. This provides a massive perverse incentive for the US to destabilize countries. Another example is how the DNC corporation will throw their own candidates under the bus if they try to challenge the private health insurance industry.

In terms of some social issues, it may be slightly better in some ways if a democrat wins, or it may not as they managed to whiff on a few supreme court seats during and after the Obama admin. In terms of being a bombable civilian outside the US, it may very well be better if Trump wins, as he's more of a non-interventionist.

The real solution is the overthrowing of capitalism through revolution and the idea that social progress is being made through elections is a dangerous illusion. There are fundamental problems with the structure of the country, and the causes of those problems fund both parties. Liberals have a bad track record of averting emerging fascism, as was the case in Germany, and as is the case today with Biden funding Netanyahu's genocide.

I'm voting for Trump exactly as much as I'm voting for Biden. Saying Biden's lost my vote is like saying Trump's lost my vote. They never had it. I don't want a second Trump term or a second Biden term. I am making fun of this ridiculous black and white thinking, it's like the old "if you don't worship christ you worship satan" claptrap. It's the same kind of people who think I'm a republican because I complain about liberals. Republicans are liberals too, and democrats are right-wingers too. I refuse the either/or dichotomy between two capitalist nationalist corporatist pro-war pro-poverty anti-healthcare parties. I refuse to buy into the hysteria that your preferred corporate prostitute is going to lose. I already know who's going to lose the 2024 election. The working class.

Liberals think that I'm supporting Trump by not voting for Biden, but actually I'm supporting Biden by not voting for Trump.

I wonder if it has much to do with the USAF being a relatively new service with a proportional cultural impact, coming into being as a service in 1947. Up until then, combat aviation was subordinate to the Army and Navy. This would point to a preponderance of Army/Navy WWII vets among the show's consultants and audience.

Being privacy-conscious can protect your information from being passively collected by mainly corporate entities that track your buying habits, life events, and health.

If you think you're being actively targeted for surveillance, then you need security that is proportional to the resources that the people who are spying on you have. In the case of say, the NSA, they could have a backdoor in a various location in your hardware or software stack. If you have privacy tools like tor, they're liable to target you and collect your data just for that. Most android/IOS phones are thoroughly bugged and tracked, to the point where if the battery is still attached and the phone is switched off you can still be tracked. If the NSA does collect your data, there's a 99% chance no human will look at your data unless they have a reason to search for you.

If you are being spied on, odds are you won't catch it. You might be able to isolate abnormal outbound network traffic if you're really good about tracking that kind of thing on your network. Your phone could connect to a fake Stingray cell station and you wouldn't know.

If you're being stalked by a person with less resources than the NSA, it becomes a lot easier and common-sense privacy protections can help you keep a low enough profile.

It's also worth noting that if private companies get a hold of your data, they'll sell it to any government or private organization who'll pay them. There's scant regulation about what they can't collect and what they can't do with it.

I think the simplest rule of thumb is if you have something sensitive, don't say it near an android or ios phone and don't put it on a computer that's plugged into the internet. Criminals have their own OPSEC, as do people in the intelligence industry, and usually the answer is an "air gap".
