Came here to say this. Cloudflare tunnels ar3 amazing

Once youbuave cloudflared installed on a host, it created an inbound tunnel to whatever IP you configure. This server, and a bunch of other servers i have running, are running across a single clodludflare tunnel. It allows me to keep everything separate and automatically fixes when my public ip changes.

It also masks your public IP from prying eyes.

Well good luck with that. You’ll kill a lot of innocent people in the process, but who cares right?

About 2000 years ago some guy got nailed to a stick for suggesting exactly this…

In the immortal words of Charlie Kirk…

The rare valid point. ;-)

Vote buying is illegal… If we had a functioning government, the FEC would shut this clown down…

if we had a functioning government…

And that’s the only correct thing in your reply. Since we have that system by design, what in the world makes you think the people who designed it would ever allow you to use it to vote away their wealth and power?

I’m just saying that short a constitution convention to change it, we have what we have and it’s never going to change because structurally it can’t change… So we work within the system to fix it, but that requires incremental change, not something people seem to embrace…

Vote the furthest left in EVERY election, and we get that incremental change. If we give up and walk away, the right wins and nothing changes.

We need to figure out how to bring Progressives and Democrats together

Under the banner of a revolutionary socialist party that isn’t interested in asking at the ballot box for permission to stop fascism.

Still won’t work… short of violent revolution, which might result in some short-term changes but doesn’t change the constitution. What we need is a constitutional convention, which doesn’t happen until 34 states agree to it… I don’t see that happening, modern Americans can’t agree on the color of shit these days.

Like it or not, Democrats have the fundraising, and fundraising wins elections

And if you can’t see how that implies that the Democrats are just as much a part of the problem as Republicans, then I’m not sure there’s any hope for you.

They’re the best of the two evils. Still evil, but they’re not going anywhere so I’m not feeling like wasting my time tilting at windmills. See my point about incremental change.

No, makes total sense. Probably me having a case of the morning daftness. ;-)

The only good thing about him staying a democrat is it counting toward the majority. His vote isn’t going to be in our favor… But right now his seat counts toward the majority.

Hey I got to keep my job through covid. I didn’t die (though came close in 2020) The Chips act pumped a lot of money into the industry (until the fascists killed it)

He did ok as president. The mistake he made was thinking he could run for a second term. That’s the one thing I have difficulty forgiving him for… He should have handed over the reins at the end of his term and let Harris run a full primary…

See that’s the problem. “Your party” vs. “Our party”

We have a two party system, by design. It’s a stupid design, but it’s the design. So as long as we are broken into “Progressives”, “Democrats” and “Republicans”, progressives and democrats are going to continue to lose and the far right will continue to move to the white because they can, there is nothing stopping them. They don’t have to cowtow to the reasoned left, they can just ignore it because they know the left will continue to fight each other and end up being fucking useless in the process.

We need to figure out how to bring Progressives and Democrats together…and calling Democrats “just as bad” isn’t going to do that at all…

Like it or not, Democrats have the fundraising, and fundraising wins elections, so maybe figure out a way to get them onboard rather than demonizing them. You need them more than they need you.

I hope he does…mostly because I don’t think he can win as a republican.

Isn’t calling democrats "the other Nazi party* and the like the same kind of condescending bullshit?

Again, you’re doing the republicans job for them.

Grow the fuck up.

NYC’s mayor Mamdani is probably the single biggest step forward… If he can make it work, and demonstrate that it works, it’s going to be easier to advocate across the country. That being said, NYC has a HUGE tax revenue base that most places don’t have. it’s easy to have all the public programs when you have the tax base to pay for it… Shithole Arkansas is not going to be able to pull that off… There aren’t enough millionaires to tax to pay the bill.

This is not news… Not even to Americans.

Every president drops bombs… That’s gone on since the beginning of time… But some are more judicious about HOW they’re dropped (and where) and some just let shit fly…

From everything I’ve read about him he was a kind, caring, giving individual who cared deeply for this country. I’ve seen nothing to suggest otherwise.

It doesn’t matter. I’ve given up trying to help the world. Pulled back all political donations, Bought a big gas-guzzling muscle-car and stopped caring about living into my 70’s. The world is in their hands now… This is the world they failed to vote for.

That’s just it…they aren’t temporary…as long as they have air they’re breathing…

I mean, you’re not wrong…I thought we had a chance when 2020 came and Biden turned it around for a bit… but then people gave up… Yeah, he was old…but you know what? He was old and sane, unlike the psychotic fossil we have now…
