Biden came out and verbally supported the police actions and people still wanna say this is exclusively a Republican action.

This is rich people action. This is boomer action. This is pro-corporate, authoritarian, protofacist action. And our “democracy” provides no opportunities to do anything about it.

I dunno. They probably both get wiped by the halo ring, in any case.

In that case: Borg or Flood?

Nothing about what he said would prevent you from using a casual user focused variant like Ubuntu. The biggest challenge you’ll potentially run into is drivers and/or having hardward that just doesn’t play nice with linux. I’d suggest just giving an install a try and see how it goes. The experience has come a long long way in the past decade.

Exactly. All the more reason to use these.

We’ve had lots of plans, there were lots of good candidates in the 2020 primaries. They were all rejected by moderates and liberals. We had the BBB, it was rejected by moderates and liberals. We had the rail strike, it was rejected by moderates and liberals. We have proposed lots of plans. They have all been rejected. The onus is not on us to continue providing plans. Moderates and liberals need our votes to win. They don’t like our plans but refuse to provide any viable plans of their own.

I’m done making plans. If moderate and liberals want my vote they need to demonstrate it. If Biden wants my vote he needs to demonstrate it. Compromise with us or lose to MAGA. Make a choice.

at least one is a slower process

Sounds like you’re acknowledging the choice is between fascism now or fascism later yes?

Soon 70% of these fascists will die of old age, and then maybe we can translate our action and resistance into policy.

That’s not what will happen. The moment progressives and leftists begin dominating primaries moderates and liberals will stop showing up in general elections. You’ll have the same problem we have today. If moderates and liberals actually value democracy they need to start being open to making material compromises with progressives and leftists. If they won’t now, they won’t ever and if they won’t ever it’s already over.

Focus your anger at liberals and moderates.

If you focused all this energy you’re using to fight your fellow working class Americans against pro-corporate trash candidates and the people who vote for them we’d be in a much better position right now.

I agree the presidency isn’t all that matters. But it does acutely demonstrate the problem. White boomers dominate the party and prevent any legitimate efforts from being made. If you want to point fingers at the household level start with white boomers.

There is no incremental progress.

Buddy, my morals have nothing to do with it. The sitting president is fully aware of what another Trump presidency means and would rather keep shipping bombs to fuel a genocide then solidify his chances in the general election. Whatever battle you think we’re fighting, we lost.

In the meantime poc, women, and the lgbtq community will be thrown under the bus with another trump presidency.

Does Biden know that?

You realize Trump is just the tip of the iceberg right? It’s not like once he no longer runs the MAGA crowd will disappear. What’s your plan for addressing it? Because we held our noses and elected Biden in 2020 and all he’s done is fucked around for 3 years.

Does Biden know that?

Biden refused to face fascism head on during his entire term. Instead he decided to focus entirely on pleasing moderates and liberals and burning progressives and leftists at every opportunity. This is Biden’s fault.

I’m really not. The fact that it’s a legitimate question under these circumstances shows just how pathetic this whole situation is. As Jon Stewart said, if the enemy is at the gates why isn’t Biden taking it seriously?

Procorporate Democrats like Biden cannot save us from fascism.

You could help stop this by fighting Biden instead of fighting me.

Sounds like U.S. democracy has already failed then.

Sounds like U.S. democracy has already failed then.

I fault Biden for not campaigning like he did in 2020.

He can’t. His campaign was successful in some part due to the fact that he talked a good game with progressives and leftists and made them feel like he was going to work with them throughout his presidency.

He did not. Nobody is going to believe him the second time around.
