You didn't answer my question

What lessons from history were overlooked?

You're right it's not specific to them. I'm talking about Dems because the thread is about liberals feeling obligated to vote Dem to stop Trump.

I might argue that using fear to gain/maintain power is a thing that all powerful people/institutions do. It might be a feature of all hierarchical power structures. Anyway, it's gross every time

Good for you for being informed enough to know about all those things. They're all good things. But they don't move my needle. They're much too small. Probably nothing could compare to a genocide but these don't come anywhere near close.

Straight-up student loan forgiveness could've been huge. We bailout big companies all the time but Biden fumbled student loan forgiveness by going small. National abortion access would be great but there's no way they'll get that passed.

You assume that voting will make a difference but it won't. Not only because most of us don't live in swing states but also, because voting doesn't change American politics. Biden showed us that. Hell, Obama showed us, America is still gonna be it's ugly self no matter who's in the oval office.

I refuse to keep pretending that a blue guy in charge is meaningfully better. They just talk nicer and give the people here a couple more things.

I want everyone to demand what they actually want, not settle for the guys who seem better than those other douchebags.

Your proposal is terrible lol

You've got your head on straight. Screw these attempts to guilt you into voting how someone else wants you to

Agreed bc I hate holding that thing! I only needed it to be a handheld for me to carry around the house and the ergonomics killed that possibility. Even with a grip on it giving it more bulk it's still awkward to use the thumgsticks and hold the system

They're certainly colluding to screw workers and consumers as much as possible. It benefits them to work together against the working class.

I'm playing Palia. It's a cozy single/multiplayer survival-ish game. I love that it has very low friction. So far I'm having a great time playing while I listen to podcasts or YouTube

Yeah feature parity made sense in the beginning so the S didn't get left behind but at this point its place feels secure to me. It's the cheap option. I think most gamers understand that and accept the trade-offs that are inherent in that choice.

Every time we get more horsepower they mostly devote it to graphics that look slightly more spectacular. Booooooring
