There was some dem candidate for whomst people said “she can win if you vote for her”.

It’s nice to bring out the ol’ throw back lines from time to time.

This is sometimes true, but big brands have the market penetration to make hardware support very easy through second hand and third party parts and to be enticing fruit for third party support (see opencore and the dosdude patchers for apple stuff).

Eh, reading about ranked choice from people living in places that have it makes me think it would change the dynamics of our system but not “fix” it.

I’m not against it and I think it would be better than what we have now, but I’m not going to prioritize it over supporting my party of choice especially in the face of genocide.

I think you’d be right about my support for psl if winning was the only thing that mattered. Losing parties still get funding, ballot access, event presence, media coverage and of course public awareness from their ballot turnout though, so there’s good reason to vote for em even without ranked choice.

To your comment about smugly doing nothing: I’m active politically locally to the degree that I genuinely worry about doxing myself here and will probably fuck off in a year or so. It’s really easy to get involved in local politics if you have the time to go to a meeting once or twice a month. Can’t recommend highly enough the process of attending those meetings and having the burrs rounded off your political self in the tumbler of local activity.

You literally just made up a story about who you want me to be and argued against that construction instead of responding to anything I wrote.

Surely you can’t expect people reading this to think im the one acting in bad faith here?

Ranked choice might be cool.

For me it’s not an either/or. I’m a communist and I’m supporting a communist party. I don’t think ranked choice will do enough to reform our elections to give up supporting and advocating for psl.

Tbh I don’t think any voting scheme can do enough to reform our elections and I don’t think reforming our elections would do enough to fix the problems with our country.

You made a bunch of assumptions about me and tried to paint a picture of a person you’d like to argue against last time we spoke too.

If no one’s gonna take my position seriously then why do you care?

If you arent planning on paying attention to what the other person says and youre just gonna fall back on building a strawman to lob ad-hominem attacks against then why are you replying?

I think the defaults on your tunnel apply themselves to all interfaces(or whatever the active one(s) are.

If you wanna troubleshoot this from the ground up you’d start with looking at your routing table.

If you run into problems using the process enumerated in the link you posted a couple of replies down, you can start to troubleshoot it by looking at the routing table with iptables -L

I voted party for socialism and liberation and you can too!

They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

Psl is eligible for enough electoral votes to win in a landslide!

If genocide is your red line then they’ve crossed it. How will you respond?

Slow walking compliance is normal. It keeps assets liquid and processes & people in place as long as possible before making changes. It also prevents the cost of changing back and forth if a new rule is struck down before its final date.

What will happen often is that a compliant procedure will be developed as soon as possible, but no changes will be made until absolutely necessary. That gives the organization maximum time to figure out other routes of compliance, fight the rule and continue at pace before they change.

No and you should not listen to people who think it could.

A civil war is large scale armed conflict between groups vying for the levers of power. In the case of the American civil war it was over slavery and came to war because there was no mechanism to integrate the south’s elites into the power structures of the north’s or vice versa and the material bases of those two groups power structures were in opposition.

What two groups would fight an American civil war nowadays? Democrats and republicans? They serve the same masters. We are witnessing propaganda bent to the ends of integrating members of one group into another.

Separatist militias? Not only would that not be a civil war, we saw how the fbi handled them in the 90s.

Corporations? Why would they do that? Government already does the unprofitable things they want and does them how they want them.

Separatist states? It’s against the economic interests of the very people who would make up the elite class of the new nation of Texas to submit their borders to taxes and tariffs.

Workers? That’s a revolution, not a civil war.

If someone wants you to fear modern civil war they’re trying to control you.

If someone makes art about a modern civil war they’re trying to tell you about something else on the sly, like with zombies.
