Was it decreed by an absolute narcissist for no reason other than the kind of blatant arrogance Americans are notorious for? Absolutely.
Most of the things Traitorapist Trump does is a desperate plea for your attention. Remember that 1 day immigration "crackdown"? He just wanted your unneccessary attention for that one particular day. If finding illegals was that easy they would have already been caught by Biden. He will do another one, but it will be on a random day that Trump is worried you aren't paying him enough attention. There is no master plan on immigration, just a bunch of 1 day stunts. You can also safely ignore everything Trump says about annexing Canada, Greenland, and Gaza.
Ignore all Trump's meaningless nonsense and 1 day stunts. Instead of doing that, pay attention to his 2 big related things which are his (1) Enshitification Push and his (2) Fascism Push. Fascism involves Enshitification, but his Enshitification Push goes beyond Fascism and includes things like trying to normalize corruption, promote incompetence, and hugely degrade the quality of government. Somebody needs to track every single one of the specific details of those things. But here is what we do NOT need to do: don't fall into Trump's narcissism web and think that just because Trump says some stupid thing every day you need to pay attention to him every day. On most days you do not.
controls the media and pushes a culture war to keep up from focusing on the class war. It
I am so sick of people focusing on identity politics instead of the wealth inequality that is far more important. I am starting to despise identity politics on both the right and the left. Bernie Sanders was 100% correct when he said Identity politics is a recipe for losing elections and it is the main weakness of Dems.
Luigi has not had, will never have, any impact on that system
He already has. Heath insurance executives have all scrambled to take down their information from web sites. Because everybody now knows that this is a shameful job to have rather than a job to brag about.
I bought a 2025 Kia Sportage before the new Trumpflation taxes went into effect. No ads at all. I would have been pretty damn mad to see ads. Weird that Jeep has decided to self destruct.
You might be wondering why Traitorapist Trump did this for a Democrat. For the same reason he pardoned Rod Blagojevich (D), which no Democrat wanted him to do. Trump simply wants to normalize corruption everywhere because he is corrupt. It's the only reason that makes any sense. This is another one of Trump's enshitification of the country moves.
Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Canada so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.
Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Greenland so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.
Narcisstic Buffoon Trump says he going to take over Gaza so that he gets your attention for that one particular day.
Unless and until you hear news about actual US troops landing in Canada, Greenland, or Gaza, don't give Traitorapist Trump any attention at all for that crap. If he actually did any of that, he would have to pay a significant price. He is not saying anything important, so you are safe to go about your life.
I think the first filesystems had flat layout (no directories),
That is true for MS-DOS 1.0. But Unix had a tree structured directory system from the very beginning (early 1970s). And the directory listing command "ls" was basically the same in the first Unix 50 years ago as it is in modern Linux.
No you can force a political party to abide by your wishes by showing you are willing to not vote for them.
No you cannot. They don't even know that you exist. The simple reality is that the one and only possibility for major progress is for Dems to win big and win often. When that happens, Dems will all be competing with each other to show themselves to be more progressive than the other guys.
Weird that the last 3 Dem presidents all raised taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations.
machinations of the party
The DNC is literally composed of the primary delegates elected by the voters every 4 years. So if you don't like the "machinations", all you have to do is convince enough voters to vote for progressive delegates.
So they basically ran on Trump’s first term platform
Nope. Harris was going to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy. The exact opposite of Trump.
The entire point of the Democratic party is to fundraise and secure sinecure jobs for its members.
None of us who voted for Dems did that in order to do any f*cking personal favors for them. We voted that way to do favors for ourselves and the country. Wealthy politicians are going totally fine no matter who wins. Hillary Clinton benefited from Trump's gigantic tax cuts for the rich, instead of having to endure her own 5 separate ways of raising taxes on the wealthy. Anybody who thought you were "punishing" Clinton by not voting for her was wrong. You were actually punishing yourself and everybody else like you.
if the Democrats were a real party they would either purge themselves of Zionists or purge themselves of anti-Zionists.
Nope. They should instead purge themselves of all identity politics to the maximum extent possible and focus on the real problem of wealth inequality, like Bernie Sanders says.
The leftist spectrum includes liberals, ultraliberals, and radicals. You are trying to redefine the word "leftist" to mean "radical" because the word "radical" sounds bad to many people. Radicals should just own the word "radical" but are too afraid too.
The very same problem occurs on the rightist spectrum of conservatives, archconservatives, and reactionaries. Reactionaries don't want to be called that because it sounds bad so they always pretend to be "conservatives" even though there is a clear difference in the definitions.
