29% - Ending Israel’s violence in Gaza
That means 71% of non-Harris voters rejected her for reasons other than Gaza. Your citation doesn’t prove what you think it proves.
The Democratic Party needs to be burned down I am afraid.
I’m not even disagreeing with you! But permanently destroying your ability to ever replace it with anything better by plunging the US into fascist dictatorship was not the way to do it!

It is legitimately a significant thing. At last year’s con, I’m sure I saw at least hundreds of people doing carpet-patterned cosplay.
Also, here’s a video of a recent Dragon-Con parade. The carpet cult section starts at about 24 minutes in: https://youtu.be/_ft9AEq5GuA?t=1440
(There’s one Deadpool/Marriott Carpet/inflatable T-Rex cosplayer who decided to march with the preceding Deadpool group, LOL.)
Hey now, be careful about what heresy you speak; the Dragon-Con Cult of the Marriott Carpet doesn’t fuck around!
we were telling Kamala what she needed to do to win
No, you weren’t. Gaza was not the reason she lost.
And there was exactly 0% chance of screeching “don’t vote for Kamala” in October accomplishing that, and everyone knew it. The only motivation for continuing to screech at that point was to concern troll in favor of Trump.
No, in terms of proximate causes, failure to perform harm reduction did that.
If you wanted to actually fix the Democrats’ neoliberal bullshit, the time for that was in 2021-early 2024, not fucking October! Screeching about third-parties in October was purely pro-fascist concern trolling.
Okay, let me spell it out, yet again, since people still apparently don’t get it: making a tactical decision to avoid expressing criticism during an election is not the same thing as being perfectly happy with what the party is doing. It’s harm reduction, not agreement.
I feel like, even on the Github page (targeted at technically-minded folks), you should still lead with the non-technical differences instead of the technical ones. In other words, change that first paragraph in the README to include the info from your third paragraph here.
Oh no, it gets worse:
Prank or not, Tartaro was playing with fire by going with NULL in the first place. “He had it coming,” says Christopher Null, a journalist who has written previously for WIRED about the challenges his last name presents. “All you ever get is errors and crashes and headaches.”

everytime I tried to login on Windows, it would crash underlying LDAP server, logging everyone in the classroom out and forcing ICT to restart the server.
Now that’s the way to do it! Make it everybody’s problem, not just yours.
BRB, sticking microcontrollers to the back of my monitors so I can use their accelerometers to report the orientations in real time…
Do you not understand that there’s an absolute, fundamental difference between:
“Harris needs to change her position on Gaza to win more support”
vs.
“Don’t vote for Harris; she supports genocide”
?
The former is legitimate criticism of Democrats. The latter is pro-fascist, pro-even-more-genocide concern trolling.
And before you try to say “but threatening to withhold our vote was our leverage”–NO. You DID NOT HAVE that leverage, not after the primaries were over and not with Trump as the only alternative! The stakes – the continuation of American democracy itself, on top of even more brutal destruction of Gaza – were too high for that threat to be credible, and everyone knew it. (In other words, anybody who would actually follow through on that threat was deliberately choosing more harm for Gaza and thus was never on their side to begin with.)
