Ok, but if you learned later that the guy was trafficking and raping women and children, and was selling them to other rich people for sex, that might color your perspective a bit? And if you looked back on that moment and said "I saw nothing strange or suspicious" I would think you were a liar.

Oh, man, that sounds like a lot.

If we're talking old games that hold up, I would put Rogue (1980) and Nethack (1987) on that list. Rogue is like the basis for 60% of the gaming industry, and Nethack is still being actively developed.

Him, Epstein, and four girls who he claims were college aged. Epstein, the human trafficker and child rapist, and another middle aged man, having a party with four "college aged" girls.

But nothing weird or suspicious.

Oh man, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I read the content of his email.

First he says that he didn't see anything that would suggest sex crimes, then he says he met Jeffrey and "the girls" who were 4 young women introduced to him as students, and says they were very hospitable.

What the fuck are you talking about?

What the fuck are you talking about?

"Do you think healthcare should be free?" is not the same question as "Do you care enough about free healthcare to vote for a candidate who supports it?" Voters are largely uninformed, unengaged, and only rarely do more than show up to vote if they bother to do that.

It counted for a maximum of three votes in three races. Did you not vote for anyone else? Why didn't you vote in most of the elections?

The only reason Biden stepped down when he did was that the DNC wanted to avoid a primary they knew Kamala wouldn't win. They waited until she was the only viable candidate. It wasn't delusion, it was strategy. It was terrible strategy, but I also think that's part of the strategy. We didn't "get" Biden to step down. We failed to get rid of him soon enough for it to matter.

The problem is that there aren't enough voters who support free healthcare, abolition of ICE, and zero weapons for Israel. We need leadership to make the argument for those policies, and those leaders are simply lacking. There are more every day, and I will fight with everything I have to support them, but they are going to keep losing for a while. Our fight is long, and we plant the trees that will shade our decendents when we are long buried. And in the meantime, there will be an election, and you will make a choice. Choose something you can live with, because it will have an impact on the world. If you choose not to participate, you are still equally responsible for the outcome.

So you didn't vote in a majority of the most recent elections? Because in 2024, PSL fielded three candidates, De la Cruz for President, Kevin Martinez for State Assembly in California, and Eduardo Vargas for City Council in Los Angeles. No congressional candidates, none in statewide elections, and De la Cruz wasn't even on the ballot in enough states to secure an electoral college victory with a clean sweep. PSL has never once won an election in America. Even if you lived in Los Angeles and voted for all three candidates, you would have left most of your ballot blank.

If you're saying you only vote for PSL candidates, you aren't really participating in elections. I applaud your conviction, and I hope someone more engaged than you can help the PSL party do better.
