This is so dumb. The Democratic party coalesced around Biden. If more people wanted Bernie then they should've fucking voted for him in the primary.

I did but can easily recognize not enough of others did.

You are always full of the absolute worst takes.

Work in IT and have many different tickets and projects. 25 is nothing.

It's really not a big deal if you use tab groups or similar. Not all are loaded at all times but ephemeral enough that i wouldn't want to save down to bookmarks.

Yeah like night and day at that point.

Shame- coming back from 3-0 down and just couldn't get the goals in the last game.

Snuck by but good equalizer.

You're responding to either a troll or "progressive" who will find any reason to be disappointed and abstain from voting for a Dem. Don't bother.

Oh I'm well aware. It's just very frustrating is all.

Went to goose and elder for brunch. Was fine. Wondering if their dinner menu was much better. I'm not altogether upset about this.

It's nice but I'm not sure what the connection to closing the convention center is. Completely different venues.

This could come in handy. Certainly convenient.

As someone who was around for the sysvinit to systemdd change, I'll take the latter every single day and twice on Sunday.

Terrible topic but systemd itself is a godsend IMO, warts and all.

I'd much rather they do away with votes for transit. There are never votes on road widening, new bridges, new interchanges, etc. But it always seems that transit must be put to a vote.

Just build the damn thing and stop asking.

Dendrite iirc is essentially in maintenance mode. I run a small one but I don't think it's expected to get any new features until there is more funding.

Because I'm at a fast food place in the first place because my time is important and I don't want to waste it ordering.

That and the guy taking orders does it 1000x a day and i can easily order that way instead of me navigating ten different menus just to order a simple meal for my family.

I'm OK with my old man status at this point. Tech is good when it improves things for the consumer. The kiosks seem to just improve the company bottom line IMO.

My god, #1 a million times over.

This is fantastic. I've been using it for a while and it's battery efficient and easy to use.

The Dev is responsive and I've donated. Should probably do that again soon.

Online json parser. Throw in some data and then structure a query.

It'll keep updating the results as you tweak your query. A simple search will probably give you twenty that'll work. I can't remember what i normally use off the top of my head.

Your vote is worth shit because you don't use it.

No it's rather the incessant whining with no actual solutions. You do realize there are more voters than just you? I'm sure there are plenty of Democrats (including a lot of Jewish people) who are fine with how the war in Gaza is going.

That doesn't make it right but it does make it hard to straddle the line between not pissing off progressives and more conservative Dems.

You think Biden wants to lose? You think he doesn't have scads of analysts telling him which way to lean? You think he purposefully wants to lose your vote? He might be a zionist himself but he's also no idiot, especially politically. He's going to lean the way he thinks he needs to to get elected.

Again, that doesn't make it right. That doesn't make the genocide ok. And it sucks, it truly does (more than sucks, it's abhorrent.) But if he and the Dems lose power going too far one way or another, they lose the power the do ANYTHING good. Things will get immeasurably worse.

So when you do nothing but bitch and moan and inspire others to abstain, you're doing a disservice. You can speak against the genocide all you want but when you do this bitching about "genocide Joe" and deflate turnout and votes for Joe then you're making things WORSE. You're asking something of him that he cannot give.

It's your absolute lack of knowledge in the political arena that I think is the worst. And it leads you to make things worse either knowingly or unknowingly. Study up and it'd help. Shit sucks the world over (because there is a genocide in Sudan too that you could speak out against but somehow that doesn't catch your radar nor do you really laud Joe Biden and the Dems for funding Ukraine against Russia, just lambast them for Palestine) and will continue to suck. It's life. But acting as if the US can realistically do everything you want is foolish, especially when the USG represents more than just ensign_crab. Or is the war in Gaza the only one that matters? Would things be better if your posts encouraged people to "take a moral stand" and abstain and let Trump waltz in then let Israel turn Gaza into even more of a parking lot? Would Ukraine be better off when Trump and the Rs cut Ukraine off and let Russia take over them and then perhaps Moldova next? Or does your barometer stop in the Mid East?

And only my left? What are you talking about? I think the right sucks way, way more than the left, the "centrists" suck that think both sides are the same. I also think the centrists suck ass when they flake out and don't vote for progressives too. Quite frankly, there's very few people politically I don't think suck. Or do you think I'm some centrist who thinks things are peachy? I'm not. I'm simply a realist. I have lived long enough to see how things play out. The only ones who win are the ones who play the game to win. It's messy and almost never fun but it's the only way to actually MAKE progress, instead of just talking about it.

Yeah, I'm quite upset you would abstain and let a fascist walk in, sure. That is fair.

But you're deliberately avoiding the question. If leftists are so numerous and their views so popular, WHY CAN THEY NOT OVERPOWER THE BOOMER DEMS?

Face it- you do the same shit everyone else does. You cry and whine because you didn't get your way and you stop all effort. You didn't get every damn thing you wanted (besides student loans forgiven, medicare insulin capped, biggest climate bill ever, a president walking in a picket line, etc.) so it's time to give up? It's time to abstain because of genocide knowing the other actual choice would be FAR WORSE for Palestine (let alone everything else)? But hey, at least go go gadget would get to be all haughty and on their high horse saying "my conscience is clear" while everything gets worse.

Maybe be in it for the long haul and be the change you want to see. Again- if leftists are so numerous they should have no problem pulling AOCs all over the place and changing the landscape dramatically. The right can do it so why can't the left?

Again, I'm not upset you have morals and want to end the genocide in Palestine, etc. I do too. I want better healthcare (either nationalized, single payer, some universal with public/private a la Germany, etc.), I want better social safety nets, guaranteed parental leave, etc. I think a lot do.

I'm upset that people like you bitch and moan all the goddamn time and act as if you're so marginalized and so victimized that you not only abstain yourself but convince others to do the same, or don't vote in primaries, or don't volunteer, etc.

You need to face up to the facts- either leftist/progressive voters are NOT as numerous as you all think and you get represented precisely how much you should be given how big the tent has to be in a FPTP system or leftist/progressive voters are numerous and are simply extremely apathetic where they can't be bothered to turn out for someone that isn't basically their knight in shining armor. In which case, again, they get represented EXACTLY how much they should because they are lazy and flakey and not worth anyone's time courting.

I don't want to beat people down but I'm tired of people acting as if there is a huge groundswell of support. Study after study and election after election show that the issue is exactly as I described in the previous paragraph. Either show up and be counted or continue to whine when things don't go your way.
