Parties don't have primaries out of the goodness of their hearts, they have them to avoid situations like this. But the geniuses at the DNC won't learn a damn thing from this because they cannot fail, only be failed.

Your VPN isn't forcing you onto its DNS and is using your ISP's. I'd assume Proton has some kind of "antitracker" option or similar in the client that would make it use a Proton-provided DNS server. Failing that, you can use a public DNS server located outside of a piracy shield country by setting it manually.

Sorry, I didn't mean to do a doubleplus ungood by saying something true about Dear Leader. We should support anything he does because Emmanual Goldstein.

Per Nicholas Kristoff's reporting in the NYT, Biden's been an advocate for Israel murdering as many children as possible going back to their invasion of Lebanon in the Reagan administration. The only issue he's never flip-flopped on is murdering children.

Bill Clinton and Obama were better at not specifically going out of their way to make a show of antagonizing their own base (with the exception of Sista Souljah). Hillary and Biden (especially Biden surrogates like Simone Sanders and Jen Psaki and Karine Jean Pierre) you can SEE the contempt just DRIP off of them. It's insulting, and it's going to cost them volunteers and donations, even if most of those voters are in one party DNC rule states they overtly take for granted. There's a reason why the dems lost the house in 2022 basically entirely in the NYC metro area.

Do you mean individual 10 second 6 digit codes? If so very little. If the underlying secret, then they can Google Authenticator codes as if they're you.

Hochul was chosen by Cuomo to be such an unthinkable choice for governor that he could never be impeached. Now, because the DNC doesn't do primaries (except when Israel wants someone's head) she's governor for life.

Why can't we ask better of a party that wants our votes, money, and volunteer hours? Post-2016, the DNC has the weirdest possible relationship with its voters, leaning REAL hard into the "Well, it's us or Comcast" of the whole party duopoly system, and is only made them electorally weaker. The GOP is running a man with 40% approval defending Dobbs, which cuts 60+/40- our way. That we're not looking at a UK this year-style electoral massacre is an indictment of the DNC, and how the state recognized duopoly system squashes real democracy.

Given the 200 year long Al Saud/Bush family connection, and the key role we now know Saudi intelligence played in providing material support for the attacks on 9/11, it wouldn't be crazy to assume it wouldn't have happened at all under Gore. Even assuming the Bushes weren't complicit with their long time friends, it was known and reported at the time that while Clinton was very focused on Bin Laden, W thought it was a distraction before 9/11.
