I think the important takeaway here is that you may hammer R's all you want, but if you want to rely on the left electorate, you have to serve the left electorate.
So the fight really is between "let's at least hold blatant fascism" and "let's tech Dems to listen a bit so that on their next election they would actually cater to the left instead of being lesser evil".
Because right now Dems are just that - lesser evil that doesn't care to align with the leftists.
I have no balls in this game, I'm not even a US citizen, but I see the point they're trying to make.
The trade war with China might be a way to assert US dominance and squash the competition, but in the grand scheme of things, protectionist policies are very bad for the global economy and global progress.
And leftists typically are internationalists, putting global efforts above national ones.
So it's not just love for China, even if Lemmygrad and Hexbear folks are really unhealthily obsessed with the country.
Team blue is team bad. It's just that team red is even worse.
But if we always follow this logic, we may as well allow them both to enshittify eternally, because reps will be just a bit more evil, and dems won't have the incentive to improve, either.
The question is: at which point should Dems be taught a lesson and how? Is current voting a good avenue for that?
The issue here is that Dems also go to the fascist state, they just always do it a bit slower to still be selected because "at least they are not THAT bad".
The question is, at what point should they learn a lesson to revise their playbooks and stop the corruption and enshittification? What should that lesson be? Could voting them out push them to pursue a more fair policy that actually caters to the needs of the people?
Long story short if I remember the video well after watching it a while ago: while sand is cheap for thermal energy storage, storing it with reasonable efficiency requires a massive unit (much higher capacity than one home would reasonably need; can't be scaled down well) held underground (immediately incurring massive costs).
I think the point is, unlike buses with fixed routes, such shuttles could deliver people to places that face temporary massive traffic - like concert venues or whatnot.
There is no need to constantly run huge amounts of buses there, but at some point of time there's a lot of people willing to go - and such shuttles, flexible in their routes, may be the solution.
I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a 'user...
If some piece of media is unavailable without DRM/Internet connection - feel free to pirate it.
Often times, this is the only way to restore control over your media. And it's a sign that we're only able to tolerate it so far.
Then, your pirated media can be placed wherever you like - and taken offline if you want to.
Also, Linux is your best friend. No, seriously. No one proposes to insert any form of DRM in there, and everyone is free to fork unwanted changes, so it never has to come. You decide what you want.
I mean I can have an inner dialogue, but normally it goes straight onto the idea level of thinking and I don't waste resources trying to shape it into words. I can do that, though.

Universal healthcare doesn't "bring down capitalism" and doesn't mean socialism. It's just a norm of civilized capitalist world, one of the achievements of the working class that became entrenched in policies. Same for guaranteed income. All good policies, but can absolutely exist in a non-socialist world.
Socialism is characterized by common ownership of the means of production, i.e. all the big businesses go away and the control of industries is public, either through government or worker's cooperatives.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans offer anything close.
(Socialist political groups can advocate for things such as universal healthcare/UBI/etc, but their endgoal has to be the eradication of private property)
I'd argue that Manjaro just doesn't implement similar procedures with AUR because it's insanely labor-intensive, all while repos are doing great.
As per the delay - the packages that cause troubles within this 2-week window are not updated until they're fixed, that's why this period exists in the first place.
I've heard a lot of negative experiences around Manjaro, but most commonly they refer to an experience that has been long ago. As a 1,5-year Linux enjoyer who started with Manjaro and keeps to it for the desktop (though I played around with Arch, Endeavour, and currently have Debian on my laptop), I had no serious issues with the distro - except one time Pamac updated the kernel while I turned off PC. For that, yeah, some guardrails wouldn't hurt.
Happy Manjaro user here. "Mommy knows best" approach greatly helps to get onboard with Linux without shooting yourself in the foot.
If I would be offered to start my journey with Arch, I just wouldn't begin this transition to begin with.
And now, I can enjoy a lot of benefits of Arch, be it rolling release, independence, AUR (carefully though), from the comfort of a nice and easy to understand system designed with regular user in mind.
Current (1,5 years in) Manjaro user here. If I'd want just an installer for Arch, I'd go with Archinstall. And I doubt I'm 1%, though nice installer might be a selling point for absolute Linux noobs.
There is plenty of experienced people using Manjaro and recognizing its strong and weak sides.
And yes, I don't understand EndeavourOS as a separate distribution either.

Certainly wish there would be more of something in between Charles IV era and XX century, at least among something known and popular.
I myself am Russian, and know a bit of Interslavic (and learned a bit of basic Czech while there), so hopes are we'd figure communication out without English should we need to :D
At least I managed it with some Czechs (and also Slovaks) who don't speak English in Prague. Btw, I don't know what makes the difference, exactly, but I can better understand Slovaks, even though languages should be nearly identical.
Справедливости ради, из этих слов аналогичны в русском языке слова "свекла" и "кольраби", другие различаются - видимо, слова заимствовались в основном разными путями. Можно угадать "страйк", но мы чаще используем слово "забастовка".
Да, для меня словенское произношение более разборчиво на слух
Transcription:
Spravedlivosti radi, iz etih slov analogicny v russkom yazike slova "svekla" i "kohlrabi", drugie razlichayutsya - vidimo, slova zaimstvovalis' raznymi put'ami. Mozhno ugadat' "strajk", no my chash'e ispol'zuem slovo "zabastovka"
Da, dlya men'a slovenskoe proiznoshenie bolee razborchivo na sluh.
Translation:
To be fair, out of those words the only similar ones in Russian are "beetroot" and "kohlrabi", the rest differs - were probably loaned from other languages. You can also guess "strike", but we use "забастовка" more often.
Yes, to me the Slovenian pronunciation is more clear.
