I think Jerboa was being pitched as the best RiF alternative super early on in the exodus. I also found myself on it but it never clicked for me.

I was on Connect for a while but there were some things that were a bit harder than they needed to be with different account/instance/filter management. Moved to Voyager and I'm quite happy with it, very smooth experience.

I have pretty heavy judgement for people who have made it well into adulthood without bothering to engage with the reality of what they support.

However, always leave room for people who were raised in this crap. It takes serious time to deprogram and some people will do it at 16 and others might take until 26. I'm 31 and still deconstructing some of the repressive religious bullshit from my childhood even though I swing hard left politically (well past the Democratic Party) at 18. The brain doesn't stop developing until 25, so at least give them some leeway until then to figure out what they really believe.

This is very true. ALSO, if you think the Democratic party gives two shits about the economy for working class people, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Allow me to ask again: who did you vote for in the last 3 presidential primaries?

Who did you vote for in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 primaries?

And what exactly makes you think that? I'm royally pissed because I've done everything to stop this and yet centrists can't stop blaming everyone but themselves for the problems they caused. Take some goddamn responsibility.

Gotcha, so complete dismissal. You know that just proves my point, right? Stop blaming a hypothetical nonvoter for the sins of the Democratic party. If you need to blame voters, blame the ones who backed the wrong horse.

For those that don't know what the French above said:

Vive le roi = long live the king

Vive la révolution = long live the revolution

Yes, but it's under inflation every year so real wages are still going down. Yet somehow the C-suite can afford to give themselves raises above inflation, even while grumbling about funding and cutting positions left and right. Weird how that works.

Oh good, I'm sure this will be covered in my annual "merit increase" that's not called a Cost of Living Adjustment because it doesn't actually adjust for cost of living.

Did you name your cat Jelly just so their toes would be Jelly Beans?
