All of those HN comments are fake right?

Isn’t this the same idea behind Firecracker?

A lot of the long-term support for OSes are for security updates. I'm sure they haven't added new features in a decade or more but security patches keep rolling out. These cover not just actual bugs in the code but also addressing evolving standards for encryption, hardware insecurities, etc.

Hubris may have lead to Clinton’s loss but Trump voters made him win. If the powers that be didn’t fully understand the hostility of voters that lead to Trump’s victory then maybe they are not as smart as they think they are but not actively malicious. Trump is actively malicious and surrounds himself with the same. The Democratic Party may have tipped the scales a bit for Hillary but they also must have thought she would get the most votes and was one of the most qualified candidates from either party. I’m not going to defend the two party system but only one is pushing for ranked choice voting, electing by popular vote, and reducing voting restrictions. Not voting or third party isn’t going to make this any better

I don’t think these issues are being ignored but a two seat majority in the Senate, comprised of red state democrats, does limit the ability to do anything here. If you look at the state level there is a lot happening to address a variety of issues by blue states. Red states are moving backward

Reparations seems like a nonstarter but the rest of these are happening, to various degrees, at the state level in blue states

Wow, the survey conducted by the company and spokesperson for the company all agree!

Let’s show them…that we aren’t reliable voters and shouldn’t be their core of support
