You can safely add Amazon electronics to that meme too.

Typical all or nothing response. Let’s forget the 535 members of Congress have primaries every 2-4 years so we can complain that ‘it was either Fetterman or Dr. Oz’ when Fetterman beat three primary contenders, two of whom were progressive, in a primary that saw <9% turnout.
If you think abstaining is the solution, why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years?
I’m a member of DSA, and they have a far better strategy than trying to rally around a third-party. It’s all about the Democratic primaries.
Why must it be one or the other? Do you really believe the best strategy is to focus all of your efforts in one direction?
I don’t care if you play. I’m merely saying how continuing to do nothing is pointless. Good luck complaining the government out of power.
That’s a form of cognitive distortion, not a political strategy. Mamdani won against 10 other candidates because we showed up. We have literal evidence that’s all it takes. Quit with the victim mentally and take your country back.
If you’re honestly expecting a three-party system to emerge from FPTP, you need to work on your mathematics.
Correct. What caused the Democrats to move right over the last 40 years were the retirees who continuously voted for centrist conservatives in primaries. They’re the only ones who always show up, hence the <15% congressional primary attendance.
Mamdani got the NYC primary up to a record 30%. That’s all it takes for us the move the Overton Window back to the left.
Oh, then by all means. Maybe show up to a Democratic primary once in a while and you’ll get your chance.
No one’s stopping you. Go get locked up.

I’m really not looking forward to working with Gen Alpha. They’re going to be the ones to champion AI replacement, naively believing it’s going to get them ahead.
No offense intended to individuals of that generation. You’ve only known a world where technology does most of the work. The corporations that will exploit your knowledge are the real problem.
That’s a problem with unchecked capitalism, not AI. Remember how George Jetson was able to have a house in the sky, a suitcase spaceship, full home automation, a robot maid, and supported his whole family by pushing a button? Consider how many people lived and worked on the ground beneath the cloud cover to make that possible.
I use Homebridge on a Pi for a secure camera feed. It works well.
