there will still be enough Democratic voters who were politically shaped during the Cold War and would never vote for anything with “socialism” in its name.

Then they deserve the fascism that the Neoliberal ghouls they’ve been supporting for decades have enabled. Too bad the rest of us will have to suffer because the fucking ShitLib wastrels are too Lead-addled to get out of the way.

Well, what did you think was going to happen after putting profit-seekers in charge of the food supply and then removing any oversight?

It’s a start. When they get to at least two thirds and purge all the Third Way Boomers from any positions of power they might almost be a party worth supporting again.

Those of us old enough to remember when you didn’t have to have three kids and no limbs to be able to get welfare know that OP is correct and you are wrong.

Lol, when we talk about Blue MAGA, you’re exactly who we mean. And I’ll bet any amount of money that if you actually reply, whatever insipid nonsense you reply with will absolutely prove that point.

And if you become skilled at ignoring all the things Democrats actually do when they have power to plausibly act like their rhetoric matches their policy, you can develop that in to lots of Internet points.

Bill Clinton absolutely bears a huge amount of responsibility for Trump. Both because he helped create the material conditions that made Trump viable, but also because he and Hillary used their influence over the party to stuff every position power from local precincts to the DNC chair with devotees of their Third Way Neoliberal Ghoul politics to ensure the party would never correct course or fix the damage they’d done.

Panther patrols at every polling place. But it won’t help, because not nearly enough of the country is willing to actually fight against the things they say they consider unacceptable.

So when they see the first panther patrols being gunned down or arrested en masse, they’ll convince themselves it’s for the best and do nothing at all instead of arming up to go out and take their places.

And if that’s the case, then a fascist dictatorship is 100% exactly what we deserve.

Based Bolsheviks.

'Nuff said to reveal you as either naive enough or disingenuous enough to be pushing nonsense Israeli narratives designed to improve public perception of Israel by increasing islamophobia in the US,UK, and EU.

“Hamas Supporters” has nothing to do with what you originally claimed and is a disingenuous description of people opposed to the genocide in Occupied Palestine.

Lol, guess you forgot about the state violence used to silence protestors for Palestine while Biden was President. Or does “if those kids hadn’t resisted they wouldn’t have been shot” somehow ring less mournful to the Liberal ear than “if that mom hadn’t resisted she wouldn’t have been shot”?

There’s minorities across the world to virtue signal over!

There it is. Just say you don’t think brown people are people and save us all some time.

It would be doing almost the same thingsz but it would be less in your face about them and the billionaire owned media would be quiet about them. We’d be just as hated and disgraced, but the average USian would be once again blissfully unaware of just how hated. At least until the reality inventing machine needed to gin up support for a war, then all the constant anti US sentiment in the places the empire has colonized will be shown in 4k as if it came out of nowhere while the public hoovers it up along with insipid platitudes like “they hate is for our freedumb”.

“Misconduct” now means any attempt to hold the genocidal settler colonial apartheid regime occupying Palestine accountable for their innumerable war crimes and crimes against humanity, huh?

After the first time they did it and got to sleep comfortably in their own beds that night, it became everyone’s fault.

In any work set before 1985 this is likely to be accurate. Most states had laws on the books called “fleeing felon laws”, which specifically authorized law enforcement to shoot fleeing suspects in the back if they were suspected of a felony. SCOTUS deems that practice unconstitutional in 1985 (with some exceptions).

Cool. Then the Ohio Dems can suck an unwashed ass.

Yeah. Using “women” as an adjective may be more socially acceptable than using “female” as a noun, but it really shouldn’t be.

I’ll confess to not having compared them in the last 10 years or so, and I’d be happily surprised to be wrong, but I’m betting that “long way” is mostly in terms of features used by casual/home users, not power users who use the software on a professional basis to do professional work. .

I hate that it is the way it is, but OSS “alternatives” are not serious tools for professionals. That said, I’m 100% in favor of nationalizing Adobe and Microsoft, since they’ve created a world where only their tools are good enough to do the job, but that’s not the conversation we’re having here.

Here’s a simple test: take all formatting out of a copy of Ulysses or some other doorstopper of a classic novel so it’s just a giant wall of text. Give two publishing pros each a copy of that wall of text, have one turn it in to a publishable book using the industry standard tools and one do the same task with the OSS “alternatives” and see who’s done first, and which version is the better looking final product.

Wanna place any bets?

Then that’s even worse, because the design of the OSS “alternatives” to everything I use daily for work screams “hobbyist who just needed the basic functions of a word processor and spreadsheet editor for school”.
