This isn't surprising. I was born long enough ago people still remembered a DNC that "tried" and "did things" as opposed to trying to be Rainbow Flag GOP for Her. If you were born in 2000, the DNC you've known your entire life has never DONE anything for you (or been caught trying) other than passing a further right version of Mitt Romney's health plan. They've never SEEN anyone even make the left wing argument except AOC and Bernie, who have been kowtowed into neoliberal lapdogs, while the only group of people making any argument things CAN get better is the MAGA crowd with their Handmaiden's Tale shit. If you never make a case, don't be surprised when people vote for people who are at least making one.

The management culture emphasizes a workflow that's heavy on low skill junior devs and cheap foreign labor of highly variable quality. You caaaaan do that well with infinite planning and QA and project management and test-driven design, but the reason you're trying to do it that way to begin with is you're an under qualified yes-man careerist dipshit trying to come in under budget and time, so you won't. And these are the wages of low wages.

You gotta love how aggressively they prevent users from seamlessly running executables from the internet, a VERY legitimate common use case, but a desktop shortcut from the internet? Run away!

Heck, there was even overlap with the internet where you could briefly lookup anyone in any city's white pages listing online for free! People used to sign their Usenet posts with their full name, phone, and mailing address, though. We were really stupid in hindsight, but it was a more innocent time.

He also recently proposed a credit card interest cap 5% lower than Bernie Sanders in 2020. He just says things. If you think he has a concrete plan for anything, I know a good feline life insurance company in Springfield... There aren't actually "sanctuary cities" to begin with, it's an inchoate media construct like "The Squad" designed to help villify political views to the left of Dick Cheney.
