Absolute worst case you could always keep track of it as a raw text/markdown/excel/Libre calc/whatever your preference is. You’re not going to get any predictions or useful data out.
But it would at least provide a record for your doctor if need be. And as long as you encrypt the device you store it on, or the directory its stored in, it’s relatively safe to do so.
Christmas is a losing battle for a consumer side strike. We gotta pick our battles, and that ain’t one of them. Pretty much any other time of the year would be fine, because for the most part people would only be personally sacrificing consuming things for themselves.
This is probably the only way a general strike in the U.S. would ever work. Employers are draconian, and nobody wants to be the first to risk their neck at their workplace for a normal strike.
The problem is organization, and keeping everybody to it for more than just a few days.
They’re operating under a lot of propaganda, and no understanding of economics. They’re ignorant of the fact that Trump inherited the economy that Obama fixed, which is why at the time under Trump things were better. They’re ignorant of the fact that Trump fucked everything up with his handling of the pandemic, previous tarrifs, and in turn fucked the economy up on the way out. They’re ignorant that Biden was trying to clean up Trump’s mess, and instead assign blame to Biden.
And every after all that, there is still the added fact that the president doesn’t directly control the economy, and has limited options. But that doesn’t matter to them. They’ve been sold a simple solution to a complicated problem.
Probably worth going in person, explaining the situation, and asking for a provisional ballot.
If the DNC was fully filled with a bunch of AOC types, we’d be leagues ahead on so many things this country is fucking up.
Granted, that is in part dependent on a country that would accept an AOC style DNC.
Nevermind I finally clicked the link after opening my big mouth
Props to you for taking responsibility for that.
By the time my state got it’s turn, Philips had already dropped out and endorsed Biden. Still voted for him in the primary because he was basically the only other option.

It very much happened. I remember voting for Philips for the 2024 DNC presidential primary.
There wasn’t one for the president this time, but there were still plenty of primaries that were very influential.
There technically was, it just not one where other candidates can really compete. The incumbent is pretty much guaranteed to win their primary.
That’s fair
I think they’re just saying that everyone should have the option and use it.
and it only takes five minutes.
Not here it doesn’t. There are constant intentional efforts to shut down polling locations in communities with a disproportionate amount of minorities. The intent is to force minority voters to travel further to get to a polling place (which may not be an option due to our joke of a public transit network), and to force them to wait in line for hours at a time to vote.

In some jurisdictions, they’ve gone so far with their voter suppression tactics that they make it a punishable offense to provide food and water for those waiting in the hours long lines to vote.
And that’s all before accounting for the fact that many people need to have two jobs to be stable, which makes it hard to get to the polls even if the lines are short.

The U.S. election system is a joke, and a sham democracy.
Trump’s been paraphrasing and praising Hitler for a long while now. This is an apt comparison.
murderous zionist colonizers who should go back to germany and poland, and not think twice about it
Escaping persecution doesn’t make you a colonist, nor is anybody saying so.
the problem in wanting to live, thrive and defend themselves in their native homeland.
Bombing and shooting women and children isn’t self defense.
I use to love this series. Hopefully they don’t go off to butcher it.
A potentially good option if you’re on Android is putting it in your secure folder. It’s basically just a sub directory for all your files, notes, and pictures, but it an encrypted form.
So if you’re technical enough to understand jow to enter a password (most people), then you have an easy to use option. Just don’t forget your password, and don’t set it to something easy to crack. It’s the same rules for any other password.
I’m sure there are similar options for windows/mac/ios
But if you’re a more technical user, by all means it is in your interest to encrypt the whole thing.
