I will never understand why browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false is not the default, or why it is not an option in the Tab section of settings.

It scared New York Democrats enough to pass new rules to restrict 3rd party ballot access. They got sued and SCOTUS refused the case.

If Democrats want people to stop saying "both sides are the same", they should stop giving people so much evidence.

Salaries for tech workers went up due to supply and demand, and it started cutting into billionaire's yacht money. So they fired a bunch of people (and used that money to increase executive compensation), which pushes salaries down, so in a year when they need to hire more people, they can hire at a lower rate, and then give themselves bonuses for being so smart.

Unionize.

My complaint is no so much the requirement of a phone number as the requirement of an Android/iPhone app.

The desktop app should be a first-class client.

The pizzagate bullshit did not come directly from WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks published John Podesta's emails.

Then some conspiracy theorists made up a conspiracy theory that included made up stuff that they claimed was in the emails, but was not.

The use case (as opposed to public transit and stationary grid batteries) is that rich people get to feel good about themselves while still being subsidized by and separated from the working class.

There is an Amtrak stop right by the west entrance of Glacier National Park. It is 2.5 mile walk from there to the Apgar Visitor Center, and from there you can get shuttles through the rest of the park.

And a place name with twice as many letters as are necessary.

Here is another reason: because I would rather try for long-term improvements than to accept gradual worsening.

Voting for conservative Democrats will not improve anything. They do not want increased accountability for the rich. They do not want universal healthcare. They do not want to get away from fossil fuels (in the time frame required). They do not want to fix our car-centric infrastructure. They do not want to stop genocide. They do not want affordable housing. They do not want affordable education. They actively fight against those who do.

Voting for conservative Democrats is not about making things better, it is about stopping things from getting worse. The Democratic Party is not a big tent, it is a hostage situation: the liberals are told "stay with us and vote for us, or the fascists will kill you."

Long term, will voting 3rd party force the Democrats left? If the Democrats shift further right instead, will there be enough time for a liberal party to emerge and challenge before the county fails? I do not know.

I am not mad at anybody for voting for the lesser of two evils. It is a reasonable, defensible choice. I understand that many of the people making that choice are victims of our system, not the perpetrators. If their strategy works, and we keep getting the lesser evil, I cannot fault them for it.

But I would rather try for a long-term improvement than to accept gradual worsening.

In my state, the two major parties keep changing the rules to make it harder for other parties to get ballot access. If a party gets a certain number of votes in the general, they can keep their ballot access without needing to jump through a bunch of expensive hoops designed to keep them out. I vote to have more choice in future elections. Because that is all I can vote for.
