    Because that's not the reality or the America that we live in. Every time a truly leftist candidate tries to run, they get slapped down by the majority of the DNC's voting base.

    This is a center-right, Pro-Capitalist country with a center-right, pro-capitalist population. You don't have to like it, I certainly don't, but that's the reality.

    Without ranked choice voting, there is no way in hell an actual leftist will ever appear anywhere on a presidential ballot.

    So hold your nose, put on your big boy pants, and vote for the lesser of two evils with the rest of us, because if you don't the fucking Nazis will win again.

    It's disgusting. When my son was very young, my wife and I struggled to make ends meet, and got behind on his school lunch payments (I still can't believe that's even a thing). The lunch lady at his school would lecture him about how much we owed, and how he shouldn't get to eat for free just because we were lazy or whatever. He'd come home thinking he was in trouble. America hates poor people.

    Why would they post it to the dark web? The whole point of terrorism is to be as visible as possible.

    Same. They've always done this shit, but installing windows - and then uninstalling or disabling all the cooked-in bloat and spyware - has become so ridiculously tiresome that I just said fuck it and went Linux full-time.

    Every update or service pack, it starts all over. There's no such thing as a clean windows install.

    Nobara was up and running in like ten minutes with no fuckery at all, and it's no nice not having to fight my OS on everything.

    While a few things have required some tweaking, almost everything runs fine out the box and I've only had to use the console to troubleshoot one issue so far.

    Throw a couple distros on a thumb drive and give one a try
