Let me put it this way.

Right now, no one knows your chosen third-party candidate exists. Let’s suppose you, personally, set out to change that. Let’s suppose you’re the best campaign manager ever, and that you and your friends lead the best grassroots campaign in history, so much so that come November you’ve convinced everyone who would have voted third party and two-thirds of the people who would have voted for Biden to vote for your candidate instead.

Let’s suppose that, had you done nothing, the vote breakdown will be the same in 2024 as it was in 2020. Biden got 51.3% of the popular vote, Trump got 46.8%, and that leaves just under 2% who voted third party. In 2024, thanks to your heroic efforts, the green party candidate gets 36.2% of the vote and Biden gets 17.1%, but oh no – Trump wins by a landslide because Trump supporters, who care not for your left-of-center politics, stuck by their guy and gave him 46% of the vote again, and in first-past-the-post voting, that’s all that matters! Your heroic efforts to get your message out about your better candidate only resulted in splitting the vote and ensuring Trump would win!

the man on the right was so angry he exploded the woman with his mind

I got a question for you though. Same one you were asked two replies ago.

Do you think that the Republicans are better?

cone on, do not try to tell me that samus isn’t a lesbian

Did they? We got back in the Paris climate accords, gay marriage got codified into an actual law, student loan forgiveness started rolling out, clamping down on junk fees and overdraft fees…

This is something I would say as a joke to make fun of a strawman version of you

“If there were enough people who cared about trans lives to actually change the outcome of the election, you wouldn’t need the law to protect them – you could just make them do it.”

Please God tell me I’m misreading this. People in Texas can just get fucked I guess?

so suppose you let trump win to spite the dnc. then what? what are you going to tell all the people whose rights are being taken away?

interesting that draconic is a close derivative of one of the germanic languages

women are pure. they can talk about a baby’s genitalia and it’s cute. if a man wants to be a kindergarten teacher, though, whoa, pedophile alert!

or ask them for clarification.

How do this without it being the most awkward thing ever

None of those parties have a ghost of a chance of winning, and with as razor thin as the win margins were in 2016 and 2020, I’m not confident Biden will win if we don’t vote for him. I sincerely hope I do not have to explain why Trump would be worse on literally every issue (especially Gaza) than Biden is.

Oh, was it them that made the IoT washing machines with a nasty habit of unannounced port scans?

Probably the privacy invasive TVs

Is there a single phone made in the last ten years that will run postmarketOS at all?

Using a mouse is invaluable if the screen shatters and the touch panel stops working but you still need to get data off it.

I can do full fledged software development complete with fully desktop-equivalent Neovim on my phone.

That said, it’s really not a pleasant experience. The CPU in my phone is pretty fast all things considered, but it still takes several times longer to compile a project than my laptop does; having this little screen real estate sucks; and since Termux doesn’t enable predictive text on the onscreen keyboard (and predictive text is worse than useless when writing code anyway), the best I can hope for productivity wise is a keyboard like Hacker’s Keyboard or Unexpected Keyboard that at least has functions like Esc built in. When I have a Bluetooth keyboard, I’m about half as productive as I am on a laptop. When I don’t, writing the same program takes ten times as long. But it does have all the same features my desktop setup does, and it is usable in a pinch.

The system isn’t closed though. More people join the tracker all the time, and that’s to say nothing of the people who already have access to the tracker downloading a new file.

They did? That’s news to me. Who did they sell it to? And what do you use instead?

^{So help me God, if you say Brave}

Huzzah! A Linux phone with specs that wouldn’t have looked pathetic five years ago!

Actually, those specs are comparable to the Pixel 7a I’m writing this on at a slightly cheaper price! Has the era of the Linux phone begun?
