I don't think the comment you replied to justifies the level of scrutiny you're putting it under.

Polling post-debate more or less justifies what it says.

I don’t answer questions from people who can’t answer my own.

You didn't ask a question.

If you think the only reason people would be against Biden running at this point is because they're secret Republican shills, I genuinely think you may need to spend more time offline.

If EFF always says your browser has a unique fingerprint then that means the anti-fingerprinting is working, no?

I have to ask: are you just ignorant of the position of the anti -Biden crowd, or are you intentionally misconstruing it as them preferring Trump over Biden?

I think you might care about this a touch too much

VS Code is written with performance in mind. Compared with other electron apps, it's very performant.

Compared with even a sloppily written native app though, it's not great.

Git was built specifically to avoid the necessity to have one authoritative server.

I think the paper was right.

F22 is dumb. Literally all you have to do to detect it is be shot out of the sky by it.

being the only choices is a symptom of democracy is so foreign to you

Given that the overarching question here is "is biden really the best candidate?", and that ranked choice voting would immediately fix that issue while retaining democracy, yes i feel fairly confident that the current situation is one brought on by an imperfect implementation of democracy.

But again, this is just more bad faith whining so goodbye.

If you ignore the fact that trump wouldn't be running if he hadn't lost the popular vote in 2016 and still won, sure.

This started as you deriding the US's system as an oligarchy, but now when pressed it's your ideal democracy? What are you doing, friend? Are you okay?

What parts of the system that make it bad are anti-democratic elements - which are not particularly relevant in whether my choice should be Biden or Trump.

Or in other words, the system you're in is flawed but you're working within the constraints of those flaws to get the best outcome you can find.

Making the best of a bad system

The US is only in this predicament because the system it has currently allowed a candidate who lost the popular vote in 2016 to get into an office that had enough power to meaningfully damage the country.

However it's clear from your repeated and deliberate attempts to reframe criticism of that system as an attack on the very concept of democracy itself that you aren't arguing in good faith here.

You think the US's implementation of democracy that forces you to pick the least bad between two candidates you don't like is

• A good system
• The only implementation of a democracy

?

And that's without getting started on the electoral college.

That's literally "making the best of a bad system"

You don't like the choice you're making, but you're picking what you perceive as the "least bad".

You think Biden is a legitimately good candidate and not just worth rallying behind to stop Trump?
