But the Democrats aren’t going to start fighting for what the people want if voters keep voting Blue No Matter Who. We’ve seen them continuously run to the right, because they don’t feel like they have to earn votes.

I get what your saying, and I think there’s some truth to it, but I’ve also seen the Democrats in action, and I can’t say that I have any hope that they are going to suddenly change their ways. If they really don’t want the 3rd parties to split the vote, then they should try adopting the policies that the 3rd parties are running on.

I don’t know enough about her campaigns to say why she didn’t win. Is there any indication that Americans thought she was going to fight for what they want?

Nope. I voted 3rd party because I didn’t want Trump, and I also didn’t want Harris. Maybe if Harris had tried campaining on what Americans wanted, rather than trying to win over people who were obviously not going to vote for her, we wouldn’t be here.

But she chose genocide, money, and the Cheneys over winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we’ve ever had.

Nah, I’m not giving her a break. She handed the elction to Trump on a silver platter. It should have been a slam dunk election, but she chose genocide, money, and the Cheney’s over winning.

Are they? I remember the polls saying it was about 51-49 in favor of Trump

There was time for a primary, but the DNC wanted to be sure and clamp down on any possible dissent. They wanted to make it clear that they get to pick the candidates, and the voters have to deal with it.

Hillary won the popular vote. While America does have a sexism problem, I don’t think being a woman is why they lost. They lost because they were terrible candidates who were completely out of touch with what Americans want.

Obama was one of our most popular presidents in my lifetime. Hillary won the popular vote.

Yes, American clearly has racism and sexism, but I don’t think those have been the problem. The problem is running terrible candidates that ignore what Americans are looking for.

And how has running the DNC picks been working out?

If the Democrats aren’t going to give the people what they want, it’s time to give a 3rd party a shot.

No, the pain, suffering loss of rights and death were because the DNC decided that continuing a genocide was more important than winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we’ve ever had.

Maybe next time they should pick a candidate that the people actually want.

It’s working out about as well as we expected it would. The Democrats were loudly told that running a terrible candidate, who supported genocide was a bad idea. They didn’t listen, and here we are.

I feel like getting made at the people who couldn’t stomach voting for a genocidist is the wrong strategy. Getting mad at the people who ran on a platform of genocide seems like a better strategy.

It’s still amazing to me that people blame the voters who couldn’t stomach voting for genocide, rather than getting mad at the people in charge who chose genocide over winning

Hillary won the popular vote. While yes, America does have a sexism problem, I don’t think being a woman is that big of a problem for the candidates.

Being a terrible candidate who is insanely out of touch with Americans is the problem. They just need to run women who are willing to fight for what Americans want.

Why? People are already having sex with devices (vibrators, masturbators, real-dolls). I don’t see why this is all that different

Why are you angry at them, rather than being angry at the candidate that ran a terrible campaign? Or the party that ran a terrible candidate?

I always find it telling when people get mad at those who fight against things like genocide, rather than getting mad at the people who fought for more genocide

If the responsibility is being shelled out to “the algorithm”, then doesn’t that mean they have less responsibility? Shouldn’t they be paid less if they have less responsibility?

Something tells me they won’t see the logic in that though.

I think most protest voters did consider Trump a threat. But they also saw how the Democratic party was doing nothing to fix the problems that Trump utilized to gain power.

Maybe if the Democrats started fighting for the people, instead of their rich doners, the people would fight for them.

Ah, nice. I have a similar setup, I have a repo, and for each rc-file, I do:
cat shared/${general_config} ${machine_name}/${machine_specific_config} > ${rc_file_name}

So for spectrwm it does: cat shared/spectrewm.conf laptop/spectrewm.conf > ~/.spectrewm.conf

I’ve looked at i3wm, but I never used it, so I don’t know. If I had to move to another wm, i3wm seems like the first one that I’d look at, since they seem so similar

I’ve been using spectrwm for over a decade https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm and have no plans to change
