I used Swappa to buy my last phone. Not certified, but much cheaper. The condition of phones is "graded," and the sellers have an incentive to keep their reputation on the platform high. I had good luck, the one time I used it, at least.

Curious about what time you were referring to when Democrats were better. I suppose they were OK during Obama (ACA was a corporate-friendly solution, there was a huge wealth transfer from the government to financial institutions and corporations, there were tons of drone strikes, and anti-immigration ramped up though). During Clinton they cut social programs significantly, and implemented the draconian three-strikes law.
I've filled out many job applications that require you to paste a link to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes, but large amount of resources are put into controlling and influencing the population. It's a fight, and we aren't fighting back enough. It's my opinion the problem is systemic, and merely trying to be more mindful of consumption isn't going to improve things much (it will improve things some, and people should do it).

I don't think Harris was progressive at all. She seemed disingenuous, media-trained to be as uncontroversial as possible, and every talking point focus tested.

I agree she would've won if she was more progressive, especially if she focused on policies benefiting labor.
Available jobs are below the worse time during COVID, and I'm pretty sure the number of CS grads has greatly increased (but couldn't find a good chart).

Liberal three-percenter lore?
I mean, I do think non-violent disobedience can be effective, but the state usually makes it violent. State sanctioned protests where most obey most of the rules isn't disobedience. Is a good start though, and I hope things progress (in a good way).
So much more than an init system though, which I think is why people don't like it. Personally, the only annoyance I have is I preferred log files over journald.
Israel, Iran, or the US?
I think it's satire, channeling Trump's style of "truthing." At least I hope so.
