  • Have you considered just having like a local group organized around something like pro-labor or just the community in general.

    Elect officers or organize how you think best. Call meeting invite guess to speak to issues you all like. When elections come around try to solicit questions to all the campaigns. Have the organization vote as a group on who to endorse or not at all.

    If it’s worth the effort, work the campaigns for the folks you all endorse.

    More people did that stuff then starting a third party in state would be easy. From there you go forward. If you do well or brand then you may have others in their region wanting to do the same. National two parties are federations of these groups with more binding Charters.

    Many States have these hurdles for recognized political parties but they can’t stop folks from just organizing how they want.

    It took me a lot of fits and starts to finally make the switch to Linux. The Fediverse was a little different, but it was the same kind of thing—I just decided I had to make the jump.

    My current VPN is helping by blocking Reddit, and honestly, that’s been a big help in keeping me here. It forces me to come here instead, which I probably needed. I still have some roles with local groups that keep me tied to Facebook, but I’m working on changing that.

    I know it’s often joked about, but the command line is genuinely fun. I enjoy discovering games, apps, and commands that I actually like using. With the great desktop environments available, it doesn’t feel forced—but if you’re curious, there’s so much out there to explore.

    Still Firefox is an option if you Adjust Built-in Privacy Settings & tweak some settings or go with one of its forks with that done already for the time being.

    Beyond that we are at the whims. Upside maybe Europe will help accelerate some projects.



  • Does she mean Democratic National Convention or Democratic National Committee the later being the common thing referred to as DNC?

    The National Convention is almost five thousand delegates with a plus one or two. Its not exactly a rally its the body that confirms or votes for the party’s Prez candidate. They have guest, speakers, other elected Democrats(who aren’t delegates), and invite the Press.










  • You have to remember that during Trump’s first administration, there was a terrible U.S. ambassador who committed a hit-and-run in the UK, killing a cyclist. The victim’s family traveled to the U.S. to seek justice, hoping the president would revoke her diplomatic immunity since she had fled the country.

    The moronic president, treating it like a reality TV stunt, had the ambassador unexpectedly pop into a meeting with the grieving family—on live TV—to say sorry. This is just how his broken brain operates.
