Downvotes on Lemmy are just an indicator that you are unlikely to succeed as a socialist politician at the national level. Short of that, I would ignore their value.

Sir, this is the internet.

Link?

Agree that humble beginnings stories probably make for better politicians (she's far from the first though), but the drive to tolerate years of political bullshit is almost always a personal power quest and indoctrination into a corrupt system makes for corrupt individuals. The expectation from prior data would be for her to follow this route. I will disagree with you that she doesn't care about power (and shit).

They dropped port forwarding and likely lost a lot of business related to this. They are trying to compensate for the loss I think which is great.

Agreed. Seems like they were in a super tough spot with that and kind of had to drop it. All the sudden they seem to be doing some new cool stuff to try to keep their edge which I really appreciate / respect. That being said, I've dumped them and switched to a service that still port forwards as it gives me better torrenting throughput. Sorry Mullvad.

You are buying access to a VPN not a nuclear warhead for the black market. The link between buying a VPN card and the code used in that card to link to said vpn activity which is also pretty well protected on Mullvad is not easily discoverable. Seems like a pretty reasonable privacy gap to me.

The secret to enjoying a good prom and not having the cops called on you is saying you are Brooke's dad and that you are here to chaperone.

Like there weren't warning signs before? She was even re-elected. Colorado is getting what they asked for with this idiot, and yeah, I kind of feel like they deserve it. The most foolish are the ones that didn't even vote. I hate bad politicians, but if she betrayed your expectations you're just not even remotely paying attention. Voters need to bear some of the responsibility for their own mistakes.
