He could have stepped down in 2022, given Kamala his last two years, and she would still be eligible for two more terms after that. She would have had incumbency, experience, and a younger face than the oldest guy who ever ran for president.

While people might actually say out loud that all cops are racist, what they actually mean is that the system is racist. Not all cops are racist, but they participate in a racist system. That makes them bastards.

Biden is a corporatist, he is literally not on our side with that one.

Controversial stuff and polish are fundamentally changes that make it that much harder to Google an error message and look at step by step fixes which is what most end users will need.

All mint adds for people who won’t bother to learn the differences (most people) is confusion

Ubuntu is even easier. If we’re trying to convert windows users on ease we really should be sending them the beginners kit

Same God, wrong book

Or maybe Spain, by staying out of the war and keeping Hitler on read they made it possible for the allies to actually gain enough power. Winning through pacifism.

Defund as a slogan is about cutting past the red tape of reform and starting from scratch to build something systemically better

It’s ignoring the crusades

Algorithms will be easier and faster to fix than the process of getting this breakthrough to viability
