In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Republicans have made their election strategy very clear: 1) Islamophobia 2) transphobia 3) blatant lying 4) cheating / suppressing votes 5) throwing endless dark + corporate $$ at all the above When I see Democrats HELPING them on 1 & 2 - or barely mentioning the rest - I want to break bones.

Like I've been saying, they will gladly embrace the lossess of progressives Democrats, even give up the Senate, if it means holding on to power. It's right in front of you. They will gloat if El-Sayed and others lose so they can crush anyone to their left.

Share this post with someone who has dismissed documented security concerns without engaging with the evidence. 🫣 As we continue to break down the cybersecurity realities impacting our systems, we need your help to continue to spread the word! 🫢
A substack article title graphic with a modem, USB, satellite, entitled: Are U.S. Election Systems Secure? ElectionTruthAlliance.Substack.Com Read More 1) Reach of Systems and Software Vulnerabilities

Election Systems & Software, Inc. (ES&S) controls at least 60% of U.S. voting infrastructure across 40 states 
per their own statements. 

The Express Vote (EVS) 6.3.0.0 software certified for use in at least 9 states during the 2024 election contains undisclosed security deficiencies identified in Texas (2020-2021) that would allow USB devices with mismatched software to bypass detection 
and inject malware. 

A closely-related version, EVS 6.3.0.1, was found in 2023 to contain 430 confirmed security vulnerabilities enabling vote manipulation with sufficient knowledge and access. Given the minimal differences between versions, 
these same vulnerabilities may still exist in EVS 6.3.0.0 
but have not been disclosed or addressed publicly.
2) Election System Connectivity

Approximately 14,000 to 33,000 voting machines with cellular modems and 35 backend election systems connected to the internet have been identified in use 
across 11 states (2020). 

ES&S confirmed remote-access software on election systems in at least 300 jurisdictions in 2020, while the “Regional Results” software module in EVS 6.3.0.0, identified in Texas software (2024), transmits election data via WAN/VPN access. 

These findings and capabilities contradict official statements that voting systems are disconnected from the internet and protected from outside interference.
3) Threats of Compromise

Two major pathways exist to compromise voting systems and alter vote counts without detection in past and present election infrastructure. 

Remote attacks could target any of the 14,000 to 33,000+ internet-connected tabulators, exploit remote-access software installed across 300+ jurisdictions, and compromise the documented 35 backend election management systems 
connected to the internet across 11 states. 

Supply chain attacks could inject malware through USB devices via supply chain compromise or compromised election management systems, exploiting known software vulnerabilities in ES&S systems deployed across 40 states. 

Bad actors could exploit either pathway to alter vote counts 
without detection and impact systems controlling at least 
60% of U.S. voting infrastructure.

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.
Marc Andreessen

Current AI custom prompt:

You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.
