I voted for the genocide supporter you wanted me to instead of the genocide supporter you are ok with because it gives you an excuse to blame the left.

What does this even mean? I wanted you to vote for Harris. Did you vote for Harris? You also say something about my “buddies on the right”, so do you think I wanted you to vote for Trump, and therefore you voted for Trump? I wish you’d speak more directly instead of throwing in all these ambiguous assumptions.

Assuming you voted for Harris, it sounds like we are actually on mostly the same page. I voted for Harris. You voted for Harris (I think? I wish you would just give straight answers). Everyone should have voted for Harris. But Harris wasn’t good, we deserve better, and I want to see better.

I also would have preferred that Harris had changed for the better. Why do you assume that isn’t what I wanted? Who are my “buddies on the right”? I don’t have any right-wing friends that I’m aware of.

It’s a shame that you have to go making an ass out of yourself by jumping to all sorts of unfounded assumptions about who I am or what I think. If you would just engage honestly this would be a lot easier.

You seem all upset and lashing out at anyone who bothers to engage with you. Take a step back and go touch some grass or something.

I acknowledged that we could and should have better candidates. That doesn’t impact the fact that you have those 4 options when it comes to voting.

Regardless of what anyone does to push for better candidates, these are the options at that moment:

• Vote for Harris

• Vote for trump

• Vote for someone with no chance of winning

• Don’t vote.

Which of those options are you choosing? Or are you going to avoid the question again?

How does that even apply?

I’m a voter. Presidential election is happening. Both options suck, but one is extra awful.

So the correct action is to run for president myself? And somehow build up grassroots support for myself over a series of 3 months sufficient to win? Too late.

We need someone to do that, yea, but that’s no longer the action being taken in regards to the 2024 election. You still have to: vote Harris, vote Trump, vote for someone with no chance of winning, or not vote.

So while you “grab a hose” which of those 4 actual actions are you taking?

Then what do you mean? No firefighters were running, therefore what? What would be the correct action for a person to take when voting in the 2024 presidential election?

You’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t even know what you think you are arguing against.

You seemed to be arguing for not voting or voting third party rather than voting for Harris with the whole “firefighters” analogy.

I was pointing out that by many not voting, or by voting third party, we’ve ended up with someone who is not only not a firefighter, to continue you analogy, but someone who is actively setting the fires.

Now I hate democracy and progressives and Palestinians apparently? You’ve broken the thread here.

So we allowed the arsonist to get the position when we could have had someone who was at worst ineffective.

Clearly, the statue was carried by ocean currents south from New York, through the Panama canal, then back north where it washed ashore at the tip of the Baja peninsula in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

I have a couple touch bar macs, and the touch bar is fine.

However, I installed Ubuntu on one of my touch bar macs. The keyboard has no physical escape key; that would be on the touch bar. So, my Ubuntu touch bar Mac now has no escape key, which is a bit problematic, so having a fix for that would be cool.

It is not a big deal for me, since I’m just using it as a server, but it could be a deal breaker for using a touch bar Mac with Linux as a PC.
