Yeah.... Wasn't this problem totally solved ten years ago? The reason we now have 20 different, incompatible, yet feature-identical messaging apps is not technical. It's financial. Apparently there is no money to be made providing seamless, convenient, compatible messaging.
The venture capitalist oligarchy is betting big on the "walled garden" prison state model. Amusingly, Uncle Sam's demand for positive ID on all communications means most of these incompatible messenger apps are using the carrier phone number as primary user ID. Making it really easy to switch to a different messenger app without losing contacts.
The Democrat party's anti-democratic primary process is no doubt fully badlawful. After all, they helped write those badlaws.
However, as one of the two establishment parties - written into the law in most states - the Democrat organization enjoys vast privileges compared to controlled-opposition "3rd parties". Perhaps the badlaws that allow them to conduct anti-democratic primaries should be reformed to be just a *little* less bad.
From where I'm sitting in Ho Chi Minh City, this particular socialist country appears to be having a massive economic boom. Like nothing I've ever seen back in the States or in any other formally-capitalist nation. At least 200 high rise buildings under construction *right now*.
Granted it's not a pure socialist economy. But pure economic systems exist mostly in textbooks. And there *are* red hammer & sickle banners hanging from all the lampposts...
Neoliberal public policy created a thirty year ongoing economic depression in the Rustbelt.
Advocates of said policies ("capitalist stooges"), when confronted with the manifest failure of their program, invariably react one of two ways. They pull an ostrich - stick their heads in the sand, shout "la la la!", and pretend they can't see what's right in front of their face. Or they blame the victims of their deeply anti-popular policies - they bought it on themselves, they deserve it, those deplorable unionized rednecks.
Urban life expectancy declined precipitously during the industrial revolution. It turns out that horrible pollution, long hours in an unsafe factory environment, and grinding poverty are pretty bad for human health. Who knew?!
We owe our current (declining, if you're an American) life expectancy to two advances occurring well after the industrial revolution proper: urban sanitation (water & sewer) systems, and antibiotics.

Lick those boots!
Awwwwwww, look - a credulous fool who actually believes the semi-official propaganda organs. How quaint!
I wouldn't venture to guess the future. But an economic boom is a magnificent thing to witness.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm - how's that bootleather taste, broham?
Patents stifle innovation.
Science is never settled. Anyone who says "the science is settled" is a credulous dupe at best, more likely a virtue-signalling charlatan.

Us deplorable commoners just can't handle the truth.
Incoherent rant is incoherent.
The superdelegates are a checks and balance against democracy.
FTFY
Vote Kamala Harris in 2020 for MORE PLUTOCRACY!
The United States is SO FUCKING MUCH less racist than anywhere in Europe or Asia. Get real, man.

So you mean you should go see the pharma dealer. And get so zonked out that he's no longer aware of or bothered by his horrible exploitation.

Crazy people sometimes act crazy. Oh noez! Quick, disarm the commoners!!
YouTube did nothing wrong! Google uber alles!
Big Brother Google knows what's best for us proles.
Democrat party shills sure do make lazy insults.
Actually no.
