As an American, I'm loving this... Really. Its high time we feel the pain we've inflicted on other countries. Our "comeuppance" if you will.

Probably because neither is our goal? I mean, leftists want no state, no classes, and no money.

Hey man, I want our Empire to crumble, not prolong it's life.

While crumbling, I want to limit damage as best as possible.

The Dems are the ones who care about winning elections, and holding power. The only way to do that is to listen to the working class.

Trump lied about his intent to fix the problems, but he did, minimally, agree they existed.

What if I told you, that elections are a way for the ruling class to justify the oppression of the working class?

The alternative is the working class rising up, and casting off our chains. Can't get that, until we raise class consciousness, though.

That stupid idiotic moronic idealism cost them and the world two pointless wars in the Middle East

Agreed. Moronic idealism to back corporate interests over the working class by the Dems certainly screwed us over.

Imagine if the Dems actually stole policies from Nader, and sucked in those Nader voters? Imagine how much better we'd be as a nation?

If Democrats are a failure then form your own party and show Democrats how it’s done.

I mean, there is the Green Party, for example. Not one I'm a fan of.

But the problem with third parties is the fact that the system is engineered to only allow two parties to exist.

We could do a repeat of what they did in Nevada, and just wipe the entire incumbent Dem Committee seats, and started over with a new set of folks, all leftists. And then, the Dems did nothing but tear them down, until they got those seats back.

3 wasted years of Dems fighting leftists, just to obtain power. Not to enact changes, not after learning any lessons. Nevada is back to just another rubber stamp for oligarchs. A controlled oppo team.

and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.

Because this is, of course, what happens, generally, based on historical facts.

Its well known most dictators step down, once the immediate emergency is over with, right folks?

Right?

Your definition of organic traffic is off-standard.

Fair.

The VAST majority of the web would have almost no traffic without web searches. It’s not like people flock to sites from talking about it around the water cooler.

Which is a shame, tbh. We had far better content, when people had to work to create good content, that others wanted, and got passed around.

ie, in school, before search engines, we all knew about Whitehouse.com... We all knew the sites that had the info we wanted/needed at the time.

In fact, I'd argue the downfall of the web as an actual useful tool came about once search engines automatically started indexing, rather than submitting site maps to a page like OpenDirectory to have your site cataloged, indexed, and sorted into appropriate categories by a human.

Because once people started working on "gaming algos" rather than "Making super good content", the internet just became the new "Malls" where you weren't expected to learn, you were just expected to buy.

Nah, you just scrape chatgpt.

I don't pay right now to hor their chat app, so I'd just integrate with that.

Not very hard to do, tbh, with curl or a library like libcurl.

If so, it appears to the search engine crawler that you have lots of content to be indexed, so it probably would move your page ranking up.

You don’t want to NOT show up in search queries right?

At this point?

I am fully ok NOT being in search engines for any of my sites. Organic traffic has always been much more valuable than inorganic traffic.
