Sure, I’ll do a simple web search for you.
It was 64%.
The most since 1908
So, the “most people in the USA didn’t vote for anything” is incorrect. Most registered voters did (if you’re including infants and the deceased, well that changes the math a little bit).And if you didn’t vote, you get what you get. And what you get is chaos and incompetence. Excellent plan, non-voters.

Blue collar workers overwhelmingly bought Reagans plastic coated flag-waving bullshit and started voting against their interests consistently. By the time Fox News and talk radio rolled around they were completely fucking brainwashed. Still are today.
I don’t see how calling them undereducated buffoons is an argument for or against whether the Democrats have alienated them either way.
And for the record, they were only too happy to vote for flag waving white Jesus over the future of themselves or the country. They alienated themselves.

Well, except for New York’s Rockdale County which is the subject of a lawsuit recently in the news - fair enough.
I yield to the overwhelming logic that a vast oversimplification may not be 100% correct.

Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? No.
I’ve seen more than my share of “red” counties. They’re only gerrymandered when there’s an obvious threat to red state hegemony. Full of good people who fall for stupid lies every goddamn time despite the world of information available to them. The FoxNews miasma that hangs like suffocating humidity in every auto garage and bleak box store parking lot. The fist of Jesus in every lifted truck window.
Take your “both sides” bullshit to someone else.

Mullvad has a fork of Firefox they built with TOR (the organization, it does not route over TOR network). Includes NoScript and ublock origin and works by making all browsers the same ( so long as you don’t fsck with it).
You don’t have to use it with their VPN but that’s good, too.
My only complaint is it doesn’t support containers. Otherwise it’s wonderful.

This is VERY HP and does not surprise me at all. If they don’t know why they’re going down, it’s not because everyone didn’t tell them.
The regular HP printer threads are another example.

SAP’s annual revenue while Leo served as its CEO was approximately $15 billion. The HP board hired a CEO whose largest organizational experience was running a company smaller than HP’s smallest division. Based purely on revenue management experience, Apotheker wouldn’t have qualified to be a Executive Vice President at HP, yet the board put him in charge of a $125 billion technology company.
HP’s board has done a lot of messed up stuff. I wouldn’t touch HP gear with a stick.
