Sorry I garbled the tenses in that skeet; vote C Alexander. Because the information varies by length and pits and stuff the translation is via Variable Frequency Modulation (a la radio) rather than DA/VC which is like “okay I read 0101111001, that’s one pixel of red.” Tremendous engineering feats.

So I had to look this up, but basically: The laser is optically reads encoded information and translating that information into an audio/visual signal. Although there are similarities to the way the info is stored, CD/DVD/etc reads binary information whereas LD reads variable information.

Posting doesn’t make a difference. Casting a vote for President in a state with a 30% partisan voting advantage for one party makes a difference.

Yes, and like Slim’s remix of “Brimful of Asha,” he has taken something cool and made it more acceptable but blander (still workshopping this joke, will never return to it).

“Patriotism I s a word which always commemorates a robbery. There isn’t a foot of land in the world which doesn’t represent the ousting & re-ousting of a long line of successive ‘owners,’ who each in turn, as ‘patriots,’ with proud swelling hearts defended it… 8/9

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

It is pretty interesting in retrospect that when Bernie ran I remember a lot of news people going “how can you be doing all this CLASS WAR stuff?” “How can you be dividing us along those lines?” and meanwhile their rich buddies were like “yeah about five years until crime becomes legal for us lol”

Oh, 1 more: Republicans have won the popular vote ONCE since 1988! And the courts are this bad! The norms got us here! The constitutional EC got us here! The left instinctively doesn’t trust any of this! We’re getting preemptively yelled at for “hate to say I told ya so” when we haven’t said it!

So many of these people spent YEARS telling people that things that political organizers said would happen would not happen due to 'precedent', norms, collegiality, etc and they were fucking wrong 100%.

energy is wasted arguing with people who had nothing to do with (gestures) ALL THIS, and who overwhelmingly voted for Clinton and Biden in crucial years. If we’re serious about both defeating right wing nihilism and making a better world, that means all of us. Idk. Think before you post, I guess.

no backup plan and little of the enthusiasm of organizing despite very promising labor gains. But the left are not “prominent/senior Democrats” playing Cassandra to every journalist they know. The left has little pull in the media and less in the party to call the candidate to stand down. Your 4/

But the left is cast as childish, unaware of how the world works, when the most obnoxious freshman rich kid socialist has been correct on the subject on how power works for the last, oh, 44 years. There’s plenty to criticize the American left for - after Bernie lost decisively in 2020 there was 3/

then it’s somehow both “time to start fragging!” and “it’s racist to suggest the weak and weak-minded President will lose and Someone should Do Something.” Naturally this is somehow the left’s fault, like our anger comes from nowhere, like if we don’t point something out no one would see it. 2/

Apparently the Left(s) have the power to elect 45 AND they also have no power so need to shut up & do what the centrists want.
