Great accelerationist pick, appreciated by both nazis and tankies

I switched from Tuta to Fastmail. Tuta was mostly fine, but being restricted to only their client was really annoying. I can use Fastmail with Thunderbird/FairEmail/etc just fine.

I get what Tuta is trying to do with encrypted email, but IMO they’re better off joining up with Fastmail on better specs that allow for the things they want to do, instead of limiting what email clients you can use.

Thanks. The good news is that if I’m right, we both win.

Organizing in person for change and being loud about it. Part of that is helping people direct their anger in the right place by pointing out the problem. It’s a lot easier to effect change when you’ve got a critical mass of people that are pissed off and want the same change.

In a FPTP voting system, one party dicking around and fucking up is equivalent to giving you the other option. It’s not fun or cool, but it’s true.

Too lazy to make the meme, but you’re literally personifying the Principal Skinner meme. “Am I out of touch? No, it is the voters who are wrong.”

Hate the game all you want, the DNC still failed at convincing people that Trump was worse than their corporatist bullshit, because people are desperate for change

The answer is simple. It is not easy. The DNC needs to be replaced ground up with people that push for real change. The hard part is pushing out people in positions of power that don’t want to give it up because they benefit from the status quo.

Individual people worked hard for that. DNC leadership worked very hard to move to the right and reject progressive/leftist ideals. They proudly touted their endorsements from the Cheneys FFS.

The people voted for change, which Harris wasn’t offering.

Is the DNC so bad that millions of individuals sat on their hands and allowed a wannabe despot get control of the country

Yes. Did you watch the election?

The RNC is Winning™. Why would they change?

What is your alternative? More failure that ends up with fascists in power? Are you pro-Trump?

Remember to direct your anger in the right place:

Their failures gave us Trump and empowered nasty people like this. The entire structure needs replacing ground-up with people that aren’t gobbling corporate cock.

We need less money in politics, not political showmanship about it

Because they understand just as well as we do that the way our voting system is set up means you have two options, and anything else is throwing your vote away.

Harris offered a few progressive scraps and then proudly showed off endorsements from the fucking Cheneys. People wanted real change. They’re going to get it, for better or for worse.

Biden’s policies brought “the economy” out of it better, at the expense of your average person.

There was no “tax the rich” candidate this election. Failing that, people voted for change.

If things didn’t suck for so many people, they would’ve been casting seeds onto stone. It’s much, much harder to radicalize someone that’s content. Instead, the messages found fertile ground. The solution isn’t to just ignore the issue and say “actually everything’s fine, look at numbers go up!”. It’s to give people hope that you’re actually fixing the issue.

It didn’t peter out, it got co-opted and suppressed until Trump capitalized on it. This is that exact same sentiment. People can’t afford groceries and housing, that was a huge issue during the election, so yeah we’ve finally reached a breaking point where people are pissed off about inequality and showed it. Anybody still pushing neolib shit is either braindead or benefits from neofeudalism.

If you’re just some dude, and you’ve got youtubers saying “you matter and you’re cool” on the one hand, and “cis white men suck #KillAllMen”, what do you think you’d be attracted to? That’s a generalization of course, but identity politics has got to go. We need more of this aesthetic on the left:

Not that exact poster obviously, but we need something that gives people a vision of the future and makes it cool. Until that happens, get ready for more Trump and his ilk.

He will bring lots of change. None of it good, but the DNC should view that as a crushing repudiation of their approach. They can’t even blame the Electoral College, they fucked up that badly. Hopefully they’ll learn a goddamn thing or two and run someone offering positive change.
