no of course not.. i am not a republican or a democrat.

well you'd have to read it first.

keep playing hot potato with decline, your leaders don't represent your interests.

and its a great tragedy because i prefer to believe there's a good will that powerful interests undermine in very sophisticated and underhanded ways. it is the game of a duopoly to split the electorate and set citizen against citizen- we see how identity politics has been revealed in so many ways as either vulnerabilities to be usurped or left as poisoned pills for folks to take up and be delegitimized by. attack dogs aren't born that way, they're created.. and fwiw, there are a lot of people who just want to have a chance to experience this "land of the free" and all the freedoms and experiences they're so increasingly priced out of.

is this more deepseek fallout? facebook going after linux, the government looking into the ai as a potential security threat, and now windows is quickly pushing patches?

third party =/= throwaway.. did you know the republicans used to be a third party? you're short-sighted in thinking a) anything will get better under democrats OR republicans in their current iteration and b) if i can't have immediate change, everything i do is moot.

because the dems put out candidates somehow even less popular.

but you were ready to vote for it under harris' gov... i suggest you never really cared.

hard to be more terrified than by the majority of our voting electorate not giving an ounce of fuck about genocide in gaza.
