The democratic leadership is a lost cause. They are currently trying to move more right to win back donors, but its too late. They dont want money from individuals or to hear the concerns of the people, and have prided themselves on not giving in to pressure from the “far left.” They’ve doubled down on focusing on converting republicans to support them instead without promising anything other than “Trump destroy, we wont.”

Some of the democrats and other politicians have shown real leadership; Bernie Sanders, Al Green, and AOC are three of the most notable examples that have been in the news a lot recently.

What people need right now is an organization to unify them, organize protests and rallies, place candidates to run in local elections, fund advertisements and outreach etc. Ideally that wouls have been the role of the Democratic party, but with their spineless leadership that will be impossible.

I think it will likely involve some kind of partnership between these politicians, and organizations like indivisible and other small parties such as WFP, and require donations from individuals rather than rich donors.

Not a backdoor, just undocumented commands on the hci. You would already need access to the device from the microcontroller side to leverage them. Also it’s not uncommon for older devices like this to have undocumented commands

Ok Lemur

If you do a 5 bit encoding (0-31) that’s enough for the alphabet and numbers can overlap with letters like in braille, plus spaces. Thats around 1638 characters. Standard ascii is technically 7 bits and that would compress to 1170 characters without the initial 0

Not owning a branch of government has never stopped republicans. They would rather get dragged out kicking and screaming. Democratic politicians have largely abandoned their voting base and claim their hands are tied and there’s nothing they can do, because they are too used to being able to just skate on through without much experience fighting from a disadvantage.

They can do things like organizing their voter base to fight back in constructive ways and pass local legislation, unify the party on voting for certain politicians, inform their voters about special elections, bills and places they can help out, push a more populist and or progressive agenda, and stop fucking abandoning and lying to their own voter base. They need to be willing to physically lead their constituents

Republicans are so cohesively brainwashed because the republicans have been targeting media and disinformation for decades. They organize extremely well at the local level, and are willing to do almost anything for power.

The democrats need to show equal fervor for defending democracy and they’ve just been cowards so far, telling people to just vote and tell their family to vote democrats, essentially telling us, “we cant do anything so its your problem and responsibility now”

ETA: democrats had 4 years to plan and time to come up with a response to Project 2025. Its weird to me everyone just took “oh its not trumps plan” at face value.
