Pretty ironic that Millie here is concerned about insincere trolls, yet they come off as the biggest troll here. I have blocked them and I suggest any leftists here do the same.
Genocide is the worst crime humanity is capable of
The US has a direct hand in multiple genocides
Record levels of homelessness in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
Death from preventable illnesses in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
Highest infant mortality in the western world in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
Democrats are not interested in changing the status quo
Republicans want a return to chattel slavery
Neither party is willing to help us, nor will they ever allow us to vote third party by adding ranked choice or anything like that
Therefore, our best bet to break the cycle is to collectively vote for, say, the green party
You think leftists are unrealistic for being disgusted with Democrats? The genocide was live streamed to the world. Did you not see any of it? Did it not move you?
By the way, the Democratic party is not left-wing. It is right-wing. Please educate yourself.
Also, are we hopeless? Fuck no. Boycotts have been making progress. Noncompliance has accomplished a lot. Unionizing, if you can swing it, can accomplish a lot. Meshtastic can offer resiliant communications if Trump declares a national emergency. Democrats want you to panic. Leftists want you to organize.
Too true. Trump didn't come from nowhere; the genocide of the native americans, the ethnic cleansing of black communities, jim crow, the zoot suit riots, etc are all proof of that.
And yeah, the democratic party talks a good game, but where were they when that train derailed and ruined the water in East Palestine, Ohio? Where were they during the subsequent negotiations with the railway workers who were just asking for basic necessities -- which Biden denied to them. Why did the Democratic party reduce Covid leave to just 5 days, when it takes at least a week or more to fully recover? Why did they remove the masking mandate when infections are still happening and disabling people?
They are all servants of the capitalists. The oligarchs need to go. A lot more than that needs to happen honestly, but at least the oligarchs need to go.
This is not that big of a deal most of the time, since you are the only person interacting with your computer, but it's worth remembering when you decide to recycle or donate -- you have to securely wipe in that case. Also bear in mind, if you do encrypt your drive, there are now more possibilities for total data loss.
Oh, fun fact: you can change a users windows password inside Linux. Comes in handy for recovery, ie, user forgot their password.
Claws searches reasonably quickly and unlike thunderbird it isn't a total resource hog. OTOH it suffers from not being multi threaded, which means when you first install it, expect it to take literally hours before it finishes syncing all your emails.
Mutt is not multi threaded either. Only thunderbird and kmail are, and kmail is a buggy mess, while thunderbird eats your ram like it's a plate of cheese danishes.
In my case, I'm in a deep blue state. Otherwise I would grit my teeth and vote for the "lesser" evil. But we really do need a new party.
