  • 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.












  • A DNC congressional majority passed every shitty thing he did except the Iran Contra stuff. There’s a great classic SNL from the late 80’s where Al Franken talks on Weekend Update about how it used to be someone who got old and rich like him would have to become a republican, but thanks to the DNC becoming a neoliberal anti-tax party, he doesn’t need to swap parties.
