Very true, but I can still dream haha

In an ideal scenario the EV driving tech could run locally with no network connection, and I can plug in something open / 3rd party for the network connected techie features

Did I say "do it our way"? No, I said be critical where it is deserved, both parties. These protests target the Democrats.

Both parties are on the wrong side of this issue.

This is an oversimplification that ignores important context. Pushing the sphere doesn't open the door if the sphere is not in power.

That's a dangerous assumption in an election year where even if they do not vote R, they may not vote at all (this is a position voiced by many, and prevalent in pop culture) which could hand the election to "America's Hitler".

This year, criticism should be levied against both parties, and that's not happening. Republicans in congress literally just applauded the genocide.

Next year, assuming Harris wins, continue to protest their position.

Oh yah, you betcha
