It would matter if they ultimately decided to break away from the Dems.
I am not down with this name. Can we just keep calling them scumbags?
Do you mean to say that AOC and Bernie are unknowingly treated as pawns by the Democrat party or that they are knowingly misleading voters into thinking the party leans further left than reality?
I would assume if anything it’s the former, and Democrat idealism has lost against the reality that a third labor party cannot take root while first-past-the-post is the rule of the game.
Wireguard is p2p.
EDIT: I guess the point is it’s doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!
Well that rules out pretty much every video game. So here’s my favorite card game instead.
It’s called Illimat. It’s very strategic but easy to finish a game in under an hour. It’s essentially a game of pattern recognition and “harvesting” sets of cards. The goal is to harvest the most points each round.
Fitting into the overall theme of farming, there are four fields to harvest from, and each field is in a different season. Players can change the seasons by playing special cards, and the seasons affect the types of actions that may be performed in each field.
Everyone I’ve played with has enjoyed this game.
I can’t wait to see how this becomes the project Manhattan of our time.
Because he already did that.
That’s rough. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to cope with these limitations, but so far at least I’m happy with the bandwidth.
Interesting. I was told I could purchase a static IP from my technician. But I just decided to use Cloudflare DDNS.
I have quantum fiber. 1 Gb up+down. No data cap. $80/mo “price for life.”
The only downside is it’s still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.
Try reading the article.
What are you talking about? We’ve been getting trickled on for years now. Oh wait that’s piss.
I think ranked choice voting and the popular vote interstate compact can happen at the state level. Just needs more local campaigning.
Then people would feel more empowered to vote for who they really want. I think that would be a big push towards nominating an actual progressive candidate.
Capital by Karl Marx + Friedrich Engels
I’m not far into it yet, but it’s pretty fucking brilliant so far.
I don’t really like the “as intended” take because it fails Hanlon’s Razor. Even Karl Marx understood that Capitalism is doomed to a crisis and revolution cycle, not because that’s what anyone wants, but because it is a law of nature.
The same is true of first-past-the-post voting.
The resolve to tear it down is still plausible though. I don’t know whether it is possible to escape capitalism without a revolution. The alternative is a perfect storm of progressive legislation that seems unlikely to occur in my lifetime.
I’ll move my foot to its dedicated spot in your ass.
I would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat.
He seems to always be on the right side of history, he understands the root causes of our national crises, and he has solutions.
Problem: Two-party system, voter apathy.
Solution: Ranked choice voting, remove electoral college (popular vote interstate compact).
Problem: Bought elections.
Solution: Repeal Citizens United.
Problem: Federal deficit spending.
Solution: Reform government contracts with private corpos so we’re not getting gouged. Repurpose military budget. Tax the rich.
Problem: Ignorant and misinformed voting population.
Solution: More school funding, pay teachers more.
Problem: All surplus value is siphoned away from the working class.
Solution: Tax incentives for employee-owned companies. More support for unions.
Problem: Consumer price gouging.
Solution: Break up monopolies, punish anti-competitive behavior.
Problem: Irresponsible banking.
Solution: Un-repeal Glass-Steagall.
Problem: Expensive healthcare.
Solution: Universal healthcare. Don’t even try to tell me we can’t afford it.
Obama’s change never materialized
Is ObamaCare a joke to you?
Idk but I use NixOS.
