Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Blaming progressives for Kamala's loss is Dem centrists trying to protect themselves. Campaigning with Cheney, Clinton and completely failing to generate any excitement in the base are why she lost, along with not railing against a genocide she helped fund. 050

Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Sure. But I'm talking about getting votes, not issues in Congress. 000
Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Great message for the base. How about Dems actually stand for something that the base actually wants? Like single-payer healthcare. Or getting money out of politics. Or 101 other things. 'We're not them' is a cop out from a party that doesn't represent it's base. 110

He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it.

Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 29/11/2024He told me their MFA service was down, which happens, but to continue to enforce MFA verification when your MFA service is down makes me think Zipcar's cloud service team is a bit clueless. 110
Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 29/11/202460 minutes later the wait music is still playing. It's a pretty good groove, but it's getting a bit grating after an hour on hold. Someone did actually pick up so I was able to bitch a bit, but I was gentle. 100
Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 29/11/2024When I warm up I try to contact customer support to ensure I won't be dinged for not taking the end-of-trip photos the app asked me for. The website says there's a contact form. There isn't. I call customer service. 100
Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I do the verification, denied. I use MFA all day every day in my work, I know how to MFA. I try five more times over the course of 15 minutes in freezing, windy weather. Denied, denied, denied, denied, denied. I give up and go home, still freezing. 100
Ralph Howes @ralphhowes.bsky.social · 29/11/2024The app asks me to take photos again, so I start to do so but am interrupted by a multi-factor authentication request to verify my identity with a six digit pin that's been texted to me. Verify my identity during the end-of-trip sequence? That should never, ever happen. 100
