Then it's not worth it.

Because it's everyone's answer. Always.

"I hate it, but I use it to talk to people."

I have to keep it for communication with people who are only on that platform.

This is always the excuse. Same one people use for FB.

Drop it. If you want to keep talking to them, get their number. I'd they don't give it to you, they're not your friend and not someone you need to talk to.

Stop feeding the platform that feeds your addiction.

So? You're not forced to buy anything. You're actually getting out quicker if you don't. No shame in leaving. Vote with your money.

By betting on who's out in Vegas.

I read your entire comment. It was lacking in substance or depth. That's why I made clarifying points.

If you're not thinking about Bernie politics in 2024, but commenting on a Bernie political post, maybe leave the political part out. Particularly if you aren't going to speak more about it... this is a forum for discussion after all.

So, you don't want to tax the rich? You seem to be misunderstanding something fundamental.

Making the rich pay their fair share would literally mean taxing them. Currently, they are able to get out of it with the loopholes. Removing the loopholes forces the rich to pay taxes.

The fact that you can't name things means, to me, that you haven't spent much time really thinking about it. So does the one item you cited.

I'm happy to continue this conversation when you have a solid position to speak from.

Which policies don't you align with?

Yeah. I work in the ransomware response sector of IT Security. Frankly, I don't need nor want this bloat on my devices. Hopefully I can find ways to remove it.

How do I opt out of this bullshit on my OS?

So, you're now drinking something you don't like only a few times? Just go somewhere else.

I don't understand getting to the drive-thru and seeing those prices and ordering the food anyhow. Why don't you just tell the person, "actually, never mind. this is too expensive?"

Go to a grocery store nearby and grab a deli sandwich and fountain drink. At least it'll be fresh food.

This is by far the best NCD post I've seen. It just keeps giving back.

What the fuck is this? "you're on the brink of autocracy, so stop bitching. It's likely to get worse."

I've said it before. Lina Khan is the best person I've ever seen work for our government, Sanders notwithstanding. She's a bastion of hope.

She's my politicrush for doing what's right for us all.

To my point, he was doing better until the others started to drop out. But that's all academic now. My opinion hardly matters, but I stand by my belief that the DNC hates progressive politics and would rather lose than support a populist progressive.

Biden didn't kill it in 2020. Bernie won the first few states, so the DNC freaked out and pushed the other candidates to drop out and endorse Joe. After that, the media lined up to declare him the presumptive nominee. The DNC hates progressives.

Kamala was a better speaker than Joe in 2020. Her comments about being one of the black kids on the busses aimed at Biden was accurate and scathing. But she followed the party mandate and bowed out.

Why is everyone's memory so short about these things?

She's a far sight better than Trump or Biden.

Exactly my analogy.

I'll be honest... I get tired of people laughing at dumb things, too. Like the way people laugh at "oh, I have been talking on mute the whole time" on video calls. The fun is played out, but I feel like laughing like this guy when the group on the call find it funny.
