  • Democrats aren’t losing, they’ve over performed in just about every election since 2020. The party has grown more left wing in recent years but obviously work still needs to be done. Virtually every progressive in government will endorse Biden for reelection. There was no significant primary challenge against him.

    If you don’t vote you aren’t participating in an election where you can influence the outcome. In reality the statement you make by sitting out is that you don’t care what happens.

    There are valid criticisms you could make of Biden especially over how he has handled the Gaza war. But pretending that you’re enlightened by not voting and effectively helping Trump is not an effective strategy in the long term.















  • In general, you should use as few as possible.

    On FireFox browser, the best privacy extension is uBlock Origin. I wouldn’t use any other extension for ad blocking or privacy unless it is for something specific you need that uBlock Origin cannot do on its own. NoScript is another privacy extension that is sometimes recommended.

    There may also be some benefit to using the extension for your password manager, as it may help you identify phishing links and prevent you from filling in your password on fake or scam sites. I strongly recommend Bitwarden as a password manager.

    Installing extensions is unlikely to help you defend against fingerprinting. If you are concerned about fingerprinting, then you should enable resist.fingerprint in the about:config on FireFox, or use either Tor or Mullvad Browser (which you should not install any extensions on).
