  • I mean i agree and being angry is justified, just the time to do something for the dems was twice in the last couple decades when they had supermajorities…

    Im pissed off too, i’m very likely losing my job because of all this federal fund fuckery. I’m stressed out and having pretty severe executive disorder over it. Work is on fire and i have to find a new job now. In terrified that the US will engage in an imperialist expansion again. That we’ll have the night of long knives 2, or Auschwitz 2 or what the fuck other Nazi bullshit you want to reference.

    I’m still not blaming the people who didn’t vote. I’m blaming the people who did, the ones who voted FOR this. I’m blaming trump and elon and their cronies. I’m past disappointment in the Democratic party and i lay the choice of people not to vote at their feet.


  • The genocide(and poor national level performance) was the last straw for many people who have been lifelong democrat voters. After 30+ years of seeing dems bring ferocity and strategy and boldness to primaries only to sit in office, renege and fail on many of those promises even in times when they have a supermajority majority. Then to see only a few dems actually screaming on the floors of congress. As well biden refusing to use the bully pulpit.

    I don’t believe any of them wanted this outcome. I do believe they felt their vote was only going to promote a regime that would continue the trend of genocide and protecting wall street over the needs of desparate citizens. Billions to kill and profit then pennies to the people.

    I believe the fault lies entirely on the DNC and not the voters who saw no benefit in promoting the party over the other.

    It’s wrong, a dem in power is worlds better, but i understand seeing it as pointless in the moment. There is no good answer, only a less wrong one…

    To answer the question, pass useful legislation and don’t promote genocide. Legislation like universal healthcare, constitutional abortion(and other women’s healthcare), raising minimum wage, universal pre-k, Union support, decriminalize drugs(esp. Weed), and to reverse inflation to name only just a tiny few…

    TLDR: 30yrs of “lesser of two evils” kills voter motivation. Blame the party not the people.

    Edit: technically not a supermajority…










  • Be aware that some apps will install fine from the arch repo but some others will be better installed from flatpack (e.g. inkscape) or directly as an executable (e.g. Godot).

    On steam you may need to specify your video card if you run an AMD card using the DRI prime command. Some games will require -vulkan to use vulkan rather than game settings.
