AOC would Crush it. But to get the DNC on board would be tricky or you get a left lane split ticket. We need to flip the electoral college and statehouses, then fill those Congressional seats everytime they come up. An AOC presidency could achieve great things but she needs a receptive congress, and willing states.

Harris had to run a half a campaign. I feel that was the bigger factor. you aren’t wrong about the rest of it though.

“Nobody…(They tell me these things) Says the N word better than me. I’m from Queens so I know “the hood”, ya know? They love me there, they do… I have lots of black friends and ‘Don,’ they say, ‘Don, you got a free pass!’ A free pass, how 'bout that, eh?”

If you go to most instances and sort by “top month” You’ll get a list of the demographic that frequents most of the fediverse: Late Gen X/Xennial IT professionals in “project lead” or “supervisor” roles. The problem is that for most mundane niche interests Reddit fills the role adequately enough, despite it being a centralized space. The fediverse is like the local Coffee shop of internet news/information aggregators: Tailored product, exquisite curation, but most people still go to Dunkin’ cause they make a reliable cup, it’s fast, and you’ll trip over them in some areas.

you want the fediverse to grow? Get Google to promote the fediverse as a Reddit Alternative. You may not like it, but that is the mountain that must be surmounted.

I will accept any console made before the year 2000 as “retro.” once games achieved a level of poly count where you could render indevidual fingers during actual gameplay, I hardly count them as retro consoles. The only thing consoles have been improving is output resolution, as vector rendering has been standard for 2 decades now.
