when will Democrats learn that "It's complicated" isn't the answer (while being true) to any of their problems.
Capitulating to authoritarianism because fighting is complicated, isn't ok.
Not having a clear plan or message right now, because it's complicated, isn't ok.
It's like the only thing they are on the same page on is sending texts begging for money to "Fight"

Not surprised. This is the final step in enshitification.
Lure people in with low prices/easy tech, etc. Slowly strangle with DRM. then make it so you can't leave Amazon and take your books with you.

Medical care is the leading cause of bankruptcy
Let's fix that!
Yes! How?
Make it easier to file for bankruptcy

I get it, and when we looked at it after 360 closed, we decided eating the debt was less burdensome.
But also, I kinda would rather live in a society where bankruptcy was less common, not easier.

There's a special place in hell for people who don't read emails/participate then pop in to complain about something they could have influenced had they opened an email.
Yes vague, but reminding me why I don't volunteer for many things. Other people suck.
