  • Remember they made the Democratic Party primaries less democratic after Carter was elected because he was too left wing. And they’ve only been able to nominate neoliberals since.

    It’s amazing that a naval officer/peanut entrepreneur/devout Christian was “too left wing”, especially since he got beat by a Hollywood union boss from California.

    Mind you, we just had an anti-elite rebellion led by a thrice-divorced billionaire failson of a New York City real estate magnate.



  • It was. But there’s a social contract being violated, here.

    Also, the guys in the photo above? their rights to own guns were tramped out by that notorious liberal pinko commie Ronald Reagan, because as it turns out, they aren’t for the freedom to bear arms, just the freedom for people they like and feel are on their side to bear arms.

    If the Panthers started up again, you can bet all the second-amendment types would be begging for gun control in five minutes.







  • It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

    Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

    It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.









  • Hello there, fellow Ontarian!

    In seriousness, Ford is a great example of my point because he talks to how people feel. It doesn’t matter that it’s bullshit at best or whitewashing of his latest grift at worst, he’s at least acknowledging enough voters’ concerns and fears, and while tossing a bauble here or there (eg, booze in corner stores, buck a beer) to look like he’s doing something for the common person.

    His opposition doesn’t do this. Stiles gets ignored, and Crombie just seems like a weak Ford impersonator.

    The polticial left needs to do better. Yes that would probably mean getting called socialist, but since that’ll happen anyway they may as well own it.


  • Maybe, just maybe, liberal democracies need to do a better job solving problems for constituents and less time fellating billionaires.

    That might help.

    I mean, when I see a right-wing populist telling me they can fix all my problems, I know they’re a lying, opportunistic piece of shit, but I can also see the appeal because at least they’re saying that there’s problems and that they’ll do something, which is more than milquetoast centrists will do.
