  • Not to nitpick too much 🙂, but saying “class warfare” is a fringe issue is super fucking dark to me. We’re literally in the process of seeing the final form of class divisions and you say its “fringe.”

    Not only that, but the other fringe issue you reference are either already coopted by Rs (identity politics) or just valid concerns ranging from empathy for fellow humans (trans issues) to the actual existential (climate change).

    The Dems don’t work because they are already purchased by donors, and not actually representative of their constituents. They ran on those fringe ideas and have won popularly nearly every time in those places where identity politics hasn’t completely swallowed everyone’s collective reasoning skills.

    We still litigating this?

    The dems ran a deeply unpopular candidate on status quo in an election about how the status quo was hurting non-rich Americans. They shoved leftists out of the way in favor of more moderate and conservative leaning people trying to reach out to those that were already not going to vote for them.

    I did vote, and I voted for Kamala; that vote wasn’t an excited vote, but one in the hopes that she could win and we could inch another 4 years to a hopefully better candidate set. The amount of emails sent to both Biden and Kamala, and the amount of shitty responses about how its totally OK was deeply disheartening, but I still voted, even though it felt like nothing would change.

    Those that didn’t vote due to Gaza, which if memory serves was a small block, specifically stated they just wanted to be recognized. The campaign instead tried to go on Joe Rogan and “toured” with a Cheney.

    There’s not some crazy reason people stayed home. They stayed home because either choice felt like doom, and probably felt they didn’t want to participate in either.

    That’s all without even getting into the amount of actual voter suppression in general.

    But yea, blame those voters.







  • One of the biggest new headline additions to LineageOS 22 is a brand new music application aptly named “Twelve,” which sunsets the old “Eleven” system music player. The fresh lick of paint brings Material You design, a dedicated landscape mode for tablets and larger displays like foldables, support for various music library server protocols, including Subsonic and Jellyfin, and lots of other tweaks to improve your listening experience.

    Well, shit. This is pretty sweet to have those protocols baked in
