Blurry Bits

I think the WWW as we knew it is unrecoverable. Greed destroyed the original ethos, and the policies (namely privacy) that were core to it’s use as a public square.

Me, I’m older, so maybe prone to the nostalgia. But when we had IRC, AIM, forums and torrents it was so much a better space, and community.

The Fediverse isn’t getting the traction I had originally hoped, but I also think it will be with us for many years to come. But yeah, I think decentralization is the only real way to move forward out of this nihilistic mess we call the web these days.

Christ some of you are dense. OF COURSE ALL THREE WERE LOSERS, THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PARTY SABOTAGE CANDIDATES.

Ergo, nobody has really tried.

What? Nader? Perot? Stein?

Truth is, nobody has ever tried. And we just saw in New York that a populist message can actually beat the money…

Partially true? If they die, I would very easily get over it

That would be fantastic. The first time in my 56 years we would see a democrat actually caring about the social good rather than pander to it for “vote blue” dollars - that clearly dont work

Respectful distance? They been trash talking that boy nonstop since his primary.

TBH, the rift in the Democratic Party has not been laid so bare since Gore.

I really dont know what AOC, Swalwell, any of these left-of-center dems think they are going to do sitting in a party that routinely sabotages any pro worker, pro humanist, any effort at competent and efficient social programs.

They should have announced a new party the second the presidential election was over. Already to late to prop up midterm candidates.

I see their only option now is registering as independent, -or else continue to be humiliated, invalidated, and silenced by the wall street cabal.
