Let me be unequivocal: No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger

Hah, right. The more accurate statement would be something like

As a DNC officer It’s only acceptable to put your thumb on the RIGHT side of the scale

I was like you until I found the spigen screen protectors.

Made of glass, little box thing to align it correctly, no complaints

So in your view, the current makeup of democratic leadership, representatives and senators is what “fixed” should look like?

Trump doesn’t need to go after Bernie and AOC, the Democrats are doing enough of that on their own.

I’m not saying the democrats are as bad as Trump but when “the left party” politicians fall to the right of national polling on a bunch of issues, and the party in general stands for nothing, things are fucked.

I’m really interested to see any reputable articles confirming this. Google searches didn’t show anything, 1 press conference on Reddit, 1 instagram post

Yeah, like someone in the democratic leadership would do something for the good of the country.

I hope the Bernie and AOC rallies start hitting 6 figures for attendance numbers, and that it turns into the start of some real change at the mid-terms. We’ll see.

Jury nullification? What’s that?

I wonder if there’s any improvement to local transfer / game copy. I’ve got a 2.5gbps network between two machines but it’ll only transfer at maybe 30 MB/sec. It’s faster for me to download from the internet. I don’t have the same problem with Steam on Windows (both sides have to be Windows)

Hah, good one!

Amen. 4 years to build a case? January 6th, spend 6-12 months and file charges. What the fuck were they doing for 4 years?

Having been a firefox user for a few years now, Screw Mozilla. What a mismanaged shit-show they’ve become.

I get that browser development costs a ton, and that they’re in a shitty position. But to make this ode to stockholm syndrome blog post… what on EARTH?

Best case, Chrome gets split off into a separate organization free of meddling and they can fund themselves with reasonable donations / investments. In reality, I’m sure Google and other advertising companies will try to get into it and buy the behavior they want, like special-interest groups in US politics.

But if Chrome ended up under any organization with reasonable management who wasn’t completely beholden to advertisers, I’d switch back to Chrome pretty quickly (assuming the whole Manifest V2/V3 thing got un-fucked).

OP’s also not going to get an answer that’s interesting or helpful out of them even if you go to where they live and ask and don’t get immediately flamed for asking.

There’s no acceptable answer for it. I have plenty of conservative friends and I could make sense of voting for Trump the first time. Not for me, FUCK that, but not all Trump v1 supporters were racists and there were valid conservative reasons to vote for him. He was definitely an unknown, nobody could have told you with certainty how he would act once in office. I could have told you what I expected and it was about as horrible as I expected, but people often see things in politicians that they want to see, rather than seeing what’s really there.

But any of the “OK to vote for Trump v1” falls apart completely for Trump v2. We saw what his first term was like and especially how it ended. His campaign in 2024 was even more unhinged and less grounded in reality than in 2016. Voting for him in 2024 is really inexcusable.

The US will be unimaginably worse off by the time Trump leaves office this time, tariffs and tax cuts for the rich and inflation, it’s going to be bad for Americans on an individual level. On a global level, Trump will have shredded alliances and any goodwill we had built up over the past decades, while also validating and confirming the world’s worst concerns about us.

And when Trump does finally leave office, the people you want to hear from will largely feel like it was a phenomenal presidency. It is a cult and logic and reason don’t have anything to do with it.

You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

It’s desktop-only right now and feels like for the foreseeable future. Firefox sync works between Zen and Firefox so you can just run Firefox or one of the Android-specific versions of Firefox that support the generic/vanilla firefox sync.

Fancy firefox-based browser along the lines of Arc?

https://zen-browser.app/

Worth a look if you’re a web power-user / developer sort of person

Yeah. Zen is a bit newer and I’d say not quite as slick an experience yet, but it has come a long way in the last couple months and is getting very good

Firefox-based https://zen-browser.app/ if you want to get fancy

Or the world blows up and it’s all over. I guess what I’m saying is, no downside, fire it up and let’s see what happens.

Also, Trump Tower is a pretty boring name. Mexico Tower is pretty spicy. There are two Trump Towers, double the fun.
