The old Opera when it used the Pesto engine was even better at it.

I believe literally everyone who used Opera had the habit of having a lot of tabs. They were extremely lightweight.

Sadly they abandoned the engine and now Opera is yet another chrome clone.

Performing a genocide is trying to wipe out national, ethnical, racial or religious identity. You can do it by outright killing them, or be more sneaky and for example stealing their children and adopting them so they never learn about their heritage.

It doesn't matter how it is done, but the result you are trying to achieve.

My bad, I meant to say that as far as the Constitution is concerned, the parties can pick up their candidates however they want.

There will be. Neither party is required to hold them, but they do, because that gives less desire to replace the whole party.

What we would really benefit would be to abolish primaries as is (or let parties pick candidates themselves) then let us vote in a single election via RCV.

First of all according to the constitution it is up to the parties to bring their candidates. The primaries are done in a certain way for example Republicans don't allow to vote for their candidate unless you are registered Republican, superdelegates etc.

Second, Harris is a VP, she already was on the ticket with Biden. Biden just opted to not run.

Or simply, according to the scale from top of the head to calves is only one foot. Their head is only an inch tall.

You pay the premium price to feel better about the same thing.

Apple appears to be double dipping. I don't use apple products beyond a MacBook. Why for example the laptop has a unique advertiser id (which looks like it can't even be disabled in newer os versions)?

LOL, "your communication cannot go through our service that we can monitor, so somebody else might be spying on you, black is white, war is peace, freedom is slavery"

Oh lol, my company is/was using them to produce testing phishing emails to determine if employees can spot them. It is quite ironic they fell for the ultimate phish.

So I was curious about Wilson and found the opposite:

Wilson is generally ranked by historians and political scientists as an above average president.[328] In the view of some historians, Wilson, more than any of his predecessors, took steps towards the creation of a strong federal government that would protect ordinary citizens against the overwhelming power of large corporations.[329] He is generally regarded as a key figure in the establishment of modern American liberalism, and a strong influence on future presidents such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson.

I thought Buchanan was considered the worst.

I don't believe that would affect her two terms. The 22 amendment talks how many times a person can be elected to be a president.

All they had on Kamala during her election for the California senator were things that Republicans are actually supporting.

They absolutely have no legal basis, my only worry is that they have activists in SCOTUS which showed us multiple times that they don't care what the Constitution says.

He has the best medical help one could get, I don't think covid would kill him, but I think covid could be what finally made him realize how fragile he is and what would happen if he would die just before the election.

With Biden they had nothing on him except age so they were using his son.

With Kamala looks like they have only her laugh.

The whole coconut tree meme makes her look like she is insane, while it is taken out of context.. It is something what her mother used to say when she was little:

During a speech at the White House in May 2023 at an event for expanding opportunities for Hispanic Americans, Harris leaned on something that her mother used to say. “My mother … would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?'” said Harris, who then chuckled. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”

I didn't think about it, though if that makes it harder to track it (can't they just check the user agent?) could that actually be good, as the sites will never know exactly how many users they will lose, so might be more hesitant to pull the trigger?

Absolutely. If you think you can switch when chrome will be completely hostile it will be too late.

The reason they are trying those things in chrome is because the market share of Firefox is currently low. They are counting that you won't have the option to run Firefox anymore, because sites will stop supporting it. Don't let that happen.

Well there are bots that are influencing others and there are the influenced people.

Biden wasn't losing in polls despite the narrative, he is also extremely good at foreign policy and also was able to sneak some progressive things in bills. I don't expect younger candidates to do well in that environment unless we get an absolute majority.

While a younger candidate can encourage younger people to vote, we still don't know if Kamala (or whomever it will be) will do well in the swing states.

I hope it will turn out well though.
