If by "just recently" you mean "around 2010", then sure.

Why? There hasn't been a search engine worth the bandwidth it eats since infoseek got shut down.

People who insist on calling it porn are helping the people go want to ban all porn. Don't give them an inch.

That's why you don't date nurses...

Lol, once again, any deviation from the billionaire-aporoved ShitLib narrative gets labelled "Russian Propaganda", which saves all the obedient little cable news viewers the trouble of actually thinking for themselves.

Lol, have fun with that. I'm sure your impassioned pleas will overcome the fucking nothing that your party (or their approved independents) will continue to do in terms of moving the needle on voter apathy.

Just go ahead and co-sign on genocide and the bipartisan immigration crackdowns and the "most lethal military on Earth" bullshit, it might cost you your soul, but at least other idiots with Liberal Brainsworms won't look down on you for valuing human decency above vooooting.

Change can happen but it's going to take the convincing a whole hell of a lot of people to make it happen.

Change can happen, but the people who have all the wealth and power will absolutely not ever allow you to vote it away. Change will require sacrifice, and nobody who believes that they can vote their way out of the mess their grandparents voted them into will be willing to do what's necessary.

I say again: I have been a party insider. I can tell you authoritatively that the DNC exists to suppress revolt by giving people like you faith in the system, and by capturing and neutering any social movement that might build enough momentum to get people to be willing to resist in any meaningful ways. You have no reason to believe that, of course, but it's true nevertheless. So I encourage you: be the change you think you can make in the world. Start volunteer for complains. Bust your ass for a decade trying to move the party left. It's the thing that finally made me see how worthless the Democrats actually are, so.i now encourage everyone making the arguments you're making to try it themselves. It'll be the only way you'll ever learn the truth in a way you'll believe.

Very persuasive. You've convinced me. Doing more of what got into this point over the last 40 years will definitely fix it. Just vote Blue No Matter Who! Surely one of these times Lucy won't snatch the football away, right?

Look for someone in a cape. Bcs whoever it was is a hero.

The system can't be fixed, it's working exactly as intended. All of what you've said in multiple comments now seems to be repeating platitudes created to obfuscate that fact. I've been "part of the system". I spent a decade as first a volunteer then a paid campaign staffer, I know whereof I speak when I say that voting will never change anything that matters, because the choices you get to vote for are filtered for loyalty to the ruling class before you ever get to hear their names.

The system must be completely torn down, and the people who the current system serves will absolutely unleash all the violence the Empire can muster to prevent that. Any milquetoast "solution" that depends on voting for the candidates put forward by either of the parties that serve that ruling class is not a solution, it's a trap to get you to waste your time and energy while ensuring you keep enough faith in the system to prevent you from revolting or doing anything that might actually affect the status quo.
