    The top part is true, but reversing 25% is something and it’s not a constant flow of more carnage. If you don’t give a fuck, then you are basically pro carnage since you are doing nothing to stop it, but fuck me right?

    Also you can vote for who Dems up on the ticket in the primary. New York voters showed the rest of the country that it’s possible.



  • Those seem like niche things to hold on to. A 5090 should work just fine under Linux, what feature do you use that isn’t supported? Also a 9070 XT is capable of doing ray tracing. You don’t always have to have the absolute most powerful card.

    I don’t have an HDR monitor so can’t say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?









  • And you’re not going to get ranked choice voting without a new party.

    Not true, parts of the US have ranked choice. You have ignored the divide and conquer point. You cannot have a new party before ranked choice without splitting the vote.

    However, there are a lot of people who don’t vote, and a lot of people who are unhappy about both parties.

    Get those people to vote in democratic primaries. Green and Libertarian exist for people unhappy with both parties and they just help to split the vote and barely increase voter turnout. Republicans strategiests promote the Green party because it helps them win elections by splitting the vote.

    There are Republican voters disappointed in Trump who still can’t bring themselves to vote Dem because of all the propaganda they’ve put in their heads.

    A new party won’t break that propaganda, you have to break the propaganda machine. If a new party was a threat, they’d just spin up new propaganda and guess what, those people will fall in line and not vote for your new party.

    A bigger problem is making it an actually big party, getting media attention, getting money to campaign with, etc. US politics runs on money. Because yet another Green or Libertarian Party won’t be helping.

    You clearly understand the difficulty of a new party. That’s why democratic primaries are vastly easier. You need less money, you need fewer votes to win, you can operate entirely in a smaller market, you don’t need national media. Once you’ve won, you’ve already eliminated a candidate you’d have to run against and won’t be splitting the vote with.
