Honestly? I played around with Linux for a long time inside of VM, but then I moved to a new house and got into "a new life" mood. And then I just couldn't look back on Windows with anything but disgust.

One situation I've repeatedly faced that could be solved by fully public voting is having those debates when someone puts a single downvote on my opponent's comments.

Silly, yes, but it may look like I am downvoting a person to aggravate. I am not, it's not me! :D

I never had those, but some people still believe Biden or Harris or some other democrat will come and build socialism.

No.

That's heartwarming. Good luck to her! (and you)

You're a great techno-parent

This, over and over again.

Going against AI is being a luddite, not aware of the core underlying issue.

Exactly. Democrats won't fix that principle; they may (eventually, maybe, years into the future) raise minimum wages, which would be helpful for a while, but they cannot stop capitalism being capitalism.

And, dependent on capitalist donors just like Republicans, they won't be able to take radical action against the status quo.

This is what many blame the failure of Biden administration to make economic reforms on - Democrats, too, play under the rule of the market, just less openly than Republicans, which is why they always try to find scapegoats to sabotage the most radical plans even when they take the majority of seats.

That's not to say you should vote A or B. That's just to mention that Democrats are not your friends and saviors, and they can only be seen as a lesser evil until people organize, come out on the streets and demand loud and proud what they deserve. They have nothing to lose but shackles.

Or they will hire dudes with bats to protect them by promising them a lot of wealth.

Building a monarchy 101.

Even better - Black Metal Communist Devil!

There is a grain of truth to that. Posting it as series of rhetorical questions is essentially breeding aggression and harassment, and while the cause is very noble, this will probably turn off the opponents instead of convincing them.

And we need the latter.
