    Shitty hard right rich douche put together dotfiles for arch, called it a distro, and was given lots of money from 1password.

    DHH being a hard right rich douche is not news, but 1password giving $300k to aforementioned hard right asswipe is recent news.

    Thats a reasonable summary IMO.







  • “I tried nothing and it didn’t work” isn’t a strategy that works for me.

    I’m not going to sit on my butt and complain into the void. I will do everything I can to get to where I want the world to where I hope it can go.

    Organizing is not in conflict with anarchism.

    Pretending the system doesn’t exist or that not participating in any way will change it is a fool’s errand.

    Feel free to find another way to participate, but trying to push others to not do what they can, to me, is (at best) an effort to continue the downward trend.




  • Keeping Dem incumbents in power by slavishly voting for them every time they come up for re-election is exactly how the party has stayed as limited as it has.

    Confusing the general elections and primaries are also an issue.

    You aren’t changing the ticket a month and change before the election.

    Work to do that starts earlier. I worked with some DSA and WFP folks to get some socialists minded folks on more local tickets, unfortunately there was nothing for the larger positions this time around.

    If you don’t like the people on the ballot, you will need to start making efforts much, much earlier than weeks before voting begins.

    PS: I don’t vote for speeding up the destruction of the world. Full stop.








  • So am I.

    Lieberman, Nelson, Conrad, Carper, Lincoln and Baucus iirc were the problems.

    Who were the consistent problems at the time.

    This is how the Democrats operate, and why voting for them never achieves anything meaningful: they are lying to you about what policies they support.

    I think you are misunderstanding what I said.

    I’m saying the “kinda” had a majority.

    At no point did I say I think Democrats are what I want or think they have policies I want.

    Do they have policies I prefer over the Republicans? Yes.

    Are they a better option than the republicans right now? Also yes.

    Are they who I want in a government I want? Absolutely the fuck not.

    These are different things, dont confuse them.
