A general strike is functionally impossible in the US. You’d need every major industry, every freight industry, and every service industry nationwide onboard. Most of the workers in those industries can’t afford a weeks long strike. You’d need every major port on board. You’d need the capitalists to coordinate it because Americans fucking hate each other. We will have an open civil war with atrocities every day before we have a general strike.

Fuck off troll.

Oh so you’re just engaging in bad faith or are incredibly ignorant of US civics. Either way you’ve got nothing productive to add to a conversation. Fuck off.

Not in the US. Attitude is irrelevant. You either pull the democratic party left by participating in primaries or you help elect Republicans. There are literally no other possibilities.

It’s fptp, third parties are fundamentally nonviable in the overwhelming majority of places. It is functionally impossible for a third party to win the presidency. Due to gerrymandering and the spoiler effect most third party votes help Republicans get elected. Vote for Dems oyn the general and vote for the most progressive candidates available in the primaries. That’s the only actual way in the current political system to effect progressive change at the federal level, by tea partying the Dems leftward. Anything else gets republicans elected. But on the other hand the fascism has come too far for elections to fix it any more, so there you go.

Voting third party in the general is at best sitting it out, at worst voting for the Republican, but you know that.

You didn’t write this, an LLM did.

That third voted for this by sitting out.

Oh fuck off.

All their comments are very clearly gpt slop.

None of “your work” is yours in any meaningful way the second you use a tool that cannot exist without plagiarism therefore any aspect of its contribution immediately forfeits all ownership of the ideas conveyed. Because they’re not yours, they’re stolen by an inherently plagiaristic tool. Unless you’re using a local model trained exclusively on your own writing, none of your AI powered work is in any way yours. Even then it still wouldn’t be original or created by you, it would be algorithmic nonsense. You are not a writer if you use an LLM to do the actual writing. Couldn’t even write that fuckin response without your gpt slop.

Guessing a lot of old people either died or lost their login info.

You didn’t make an argument, you listed your justifications for using plagiaristic genAI as a shortcut instead of doing the actual work yourself.

I’m honestly not sure we do have the numbers. Actual progressives seem to be a small minority, and the ones not willing to sacrifice trans people smaller still.

I see a woman.

Do I think a staged photo indicates sexual assault? No, I’m not a moron. I do however remember that he immediately asked for a congressional investigation and as soon as he did she spoke up saying that wasn’t necessary and she wanted to put it behind her. It was a staged photo for a comedy tour for troops. It wasn’t sexual assault. People on the plane said she consented to the photo and wasn’t asleep. It wasn’t sexual assault. It was a staged photo. And the joke is she was wearing a fucking plate carrier so he wasn’t even fake groping her chest, he was fake grabbing her armor. Do you get equally upset about depictions of sexual assault in media? Do you believe those depictions tacitly condone sexual assault? Are you a fuckin moron?

He hover handed a plate carrier. He could have full on grabbed the thing and it still wouldn’t count as groping her chest.

It fucking seems like that from the inside too. Fuck this shit hole country full of fucking fascist bigots.

Yep I did, but the other guy is probably closer to the truth of it. Fitting on a DVD is just bonus.

The 4gb chunks is so you can put them on Blu-ray DVD discs for storage. Back in the day large games came on multiple discs.

Edit: Also it’s probably more what the other guy said about format, fitting on a DVD is just a bonus.
