  • I don’t think there’s much of a point in continuing this discussion because you continue to make up excuses for the democratic parties failings.

    You don’t seem to understand that I am simply wanting to push the democratic party to be more proactive and progressive rather then reacting to Republicans (frequently nodding along in agreement for a while until finally getting with reality).

    I never once claimed the two parties were the same, that’s simply your assumption to my healthy skepticism with either parties company line.

    If you think the democrats are squeeky clean, you’re misinformed and are unintentionally helping to erode our democracy.

    Calling out prior misdeeds from democrats while fighting for better options is not supporting Republicans and the hive mind bullshit from Democrats is what helped get us here and ensured the Biden administration and it’s failures occurred. They failed (predictably) to prevent this from occurring by refusing to fight for the people. “oh the parlimentsrisn said we can’t do that” “oh woops Marijuana is still schedule 1” “sure the covid era safety net helped raise hundreds of thousands of children from poverty but we can’t be fucked to fight to continue them” “oh no roe v wade is overturned, better vote for us so we can still do fuck all”

    Idk man, wake the fuck up, the Republicans are obviously far worse, but if we can’t expect more from our supposed good party, what the fuck do you think is going to happen? Exactly what did, less people voted, voter rights laws backsliding, there is evidence of election tampering by the Republicans (big surprise they always scream the loudest about the shit they’re doing or planning to do) etc etc. Much of this could have been prevented if the democratic party had any fucking backbone to fight for what they claim to believe in.



  • It’s not even a both sides, I’m simply stating facts.

    Blindly believing either political party because it aligns moreso with you is foolish, you should seek why they say the things they do and find potential conflicts of interest. By which unfortunately a large amount of democrats are entrenched in donor and lobbyist cash.

    Again it’s no contest that the Republicans are far worse and I have never advocated for voting for those ghouls. I’ve also voted Democrat in midterms and presidential elections consistently since I was old enough to do so. Not that it matters much living in a deep south state.

    I consistency have advocated to my friends and family that they need to ote Democrat because they are absolutely the lesser of the two evils, but it’d be great if the party would get the fuck out of the way and let progressive policy actually bring us into a better future. Yet all I’ve seen is the party bashing the progressives and being ineffectual themselves in preventing the rise of fascism in our country.











  • I currently use Bazzite on my old laptop, just wanted to try out immutable distros and I like to stream games from my rig to it sometimes so completely functional steam was a nice addition. Plus learning about flatpaks and app images over installed packages has been interesting.

    Then on my servers Debian/Proxmox and usually Ubuntu server in LXCs for more updated APTs then Debian, though I mostly run docker for my web apps rather then native APTs.

    I work for a company that has a java program that functions on Linux but is nowhere near the level of support provided for mac/Windows, so I’m the Linux guy for our dept and when a customer is running into issues on a distro I’ll spin up a vm on my homelab and see if I can rum through an install and get it functional.

    So far the only one I literally couldn’t get installed was Slackware lol I even figured out how to get it functional in ChromeOSes Linux subsystem.
