Again, I appreciate the information but "revolution" is a nebulous term. What's the realistic plan to get there?

Voting can't get us there.

I'd believe that if we had enough participation. Look at the number of eligible voters, then look at the margins on every single candidate and issue. If enough people had voted, we would have literally put fascism behind us and had election reform. First past the post would be a distant memory. Which again, is the absolutely required first step before 3rd-party candidates become viable in the US.

Voting works if enough people vote. But we do have the numbers! I realize getting people to participate is the harder problem than just saying an ideology will solve everything, but that's the world we live in. Any realistic plan for revolution must at least include voting as long as voting is still an effective part of progress.

This is actually so true. We're all dazed and staggered. Donald Trump won. But he'll win even more and do more damage if he keeps us all feeling helpless and powerless going forward. We're not.

What are these groups' position on voting for 3rd party candidates in the US's "first past the post" climate? Genuinely asking. I'm all for organizing and educating, but until we can end the correct 2-party system, these candidates are in no way viable.

How many years has he been lying about Tesla's full self-driving (camera only) capabilities? Among other things. Please don't advertise this disgusting creature's self-promotion...

Yeah, but I was just whining, it wasn't even a good joke. 🤷‍♂️

Of course not! That would contribute to the unmanageable stream of of 8-10 posts a day!!!

"B movie" is insane. But what they accomplished with their low budget is phenomenal, if that's what they mean...

Huh. That's actually pretty nice!

I don't even know what that is!

My company uses SFF PCs with only a single front USB-C port and plugs a 2/4 port serial adapter into it for all locations. If everyone around it is careful, fine. But I can absolutely attest that USB-A is much more sturdy and secure, at the cost of slightly larger form factor...
