  • I can’t remember the source, but the number 1 issue in every swing state other than Michigan (which had Palestine as its #1) among democrat nonvoters and centrists who voted republican was grocery prices. Most of those states had inflation as their number 2 issue and Palestine as the third. Palestine alone wouldn’t have been enough to swing any state other than Michigan.

    I think its pretty clear that the primary reason Kamala lost because she didn’t present a vision for the economy. She literally just said that the economy is fine. Inflation and grocery prices? Ignore those!

    Inflation maybe shouldn’t have been as big of an issue since it was below 3% and on its way down but it was still a concern for a large number of voters.














  • I see your confusion, I just said FOSS and I should have said FOSS movement to be more clear. Double-checking myself shows that the FOSS orgs tend to be apolitical, so I should have instead said compatible with communist views.

    You state that communism is all about forcing people, however communism is defined as a stateless classless society. How would you force people in such a situation?

    IBM is most certainly capitalist, they just realized they could benefit from open source software once they fell behind MS. Being able to share development costs is still beneficial in a capitalist economy, even if you don’t privately own the end product. Just like how sharing the cost of healthcare can be beneficial for the social welfare.
