Ok, so voting in mass won’t do a thing? At the moment, more than 50% of registered voters are over 50 years old. With an average life span of 72 years in the US, that’s folks 70% through life, at best on average. Getting everyone 40 or below registered and voting would change the game as we know it. But sorry for trying to game the system…

The only way to change this decrepit system is to vote in such numbers we flood the voting booths. If Jill Stein or Cornell West have any shot, this is what has to happen to get them in office.

Fossify’s Messenger is awesome, it handles SMS/MMS plus it’s ad free and open-source.

Basically couldn’t have come any later really. They’re already coming out the gates scrabbling with just 3 months and change until voting starts.

I said “more affordable” as I was comparing the 8a, 8, and 8 Pro. Whenever a new model comes out, last years always has a price cut. I didn’t think referencing the 7a was required, as it’s implied it’s less expensive than 8a. But the 7a only will be supported for 5 years, while 8a will be for 7 years. This alone could make it the better choice. However, I know finances are different for everyone. Regardless, when I said it’s more affordable, this was a reference to it being noticeably less expense than the 8 and 8 Pro.

The Pixel 8a is more affordable vs the 8 and 8 Pro. The 8a comes in at $499, while the 8 cost $699 and the Pro runs $999. The 8a still has an amazing camera, the battery will give you no problems, and it’s not a MASSIVE device like most phones these days. It’s probably the best way to get on Graphene OS at a reasonable price point.

Exactly, more than half of registered voters are over 50. So polling 50+ year olds would definitely be better data.

JMP is the bees knees, couldn’t be happier with the service. The app takes a little bit of getting used to, but once dialed in it can function right along side your phones main number. Zero issues with it working on websites too, highly recommended!

Android user? Graphene looks like it’s worth the setup process more and more. Pixels are the only Google product worth while thanks to Graphene really.

Just like the link in the iOS section, there’s a link in the Android section. Both were in the first sentence, I believe. But I had to give the article another once over to find it.
