Makes sense anecdotally.
Lines up with the big groundswell of opposition I’ve seen from parents about their kids getting homework because “this homework is ridiculous I can’t even answer the questions on my kids third grade homework. Who the hell cares what an adjective is.”
Also lines up with the rights understanding of what a pronoun is.
They would literally, unironically, genuinely lose 100 times to republicans before they elect anybody who would appease anybody left of Clinton.
People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
“Lawfare” meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
“Disinformatsiya” or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
“Sanewashing” to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it’s a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about “sanewashsing” and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren’t exactly the fucking same as Trump.
Maybe but I’m pretty skeptical. If he wins the popular vote he’s going to win upward of 35 states. New York and California should be worth like 2 to 3x the EC votes they get. It’s hard to overstate how much just those two states skew the popular vote for dems.
The only republican to win the popular vote in my lifetime was Bush still coasting off of 9/11 jingoism.
I will say that if he wins the popular vote that should be the end of the current form of the democratic party, if you can’t convince the majority of people you’re a better candidate than the guy who audibly shits himself on national television while slowly staying back and forth to 3 different version of Ave Maria I think it’s time to admit you’re cooked.
But then again losing easily winnable elections to republicans has been the dems entire strategy for decades now.
Idk if it’s medical or more psychological but the term for when your hear a word so many times it loses meaning is one of my favorite phrases in the English language.
Semantic satiation
That is a perfectly clear message for me actually.
It’s about opposing genocide or not. “Do nothing knowing that will cause the genocide to continue” is close enough to “continue the genocide” for me.
That’s because you’re not middle class.
It’s incredible America somehow managed to convince an entire nation to gladly accept shit because they can label themselves “deffinitly not eating shit”
Thank you for starting off your comment by saying I’m advocating for Trump and letting anybody that isn’t blue Maga know you are a deeply unserious person.
I fucking hate Trump, my main critique of the dems is they’re incapable or more likely unwilling to meaningfully oppose them.
You are like a small child just lashing out and then retreating to simple absolutes like “if anybody criticizes liberals for any reason you don’t have to listen to them because they’re just big meany Trump supporters”
I wish that the logical conclusions of your political ideology that discards anybody who isnt immediatly useful would happen to you but since you’re a liberal I’m sure you’ll just keep smugly telling yourself everything is everybody else’s fault while stepping on the neck of the vulnerable you claim to care about.
I don’t have words to express my level of disdain for you.
Seriously if it turns out “genocide is bad” is a negotiable value if it’s too politically costly why should anybody believe you stand for anything.
You realize you’re literally taking political hostages right?
“Endorse my genocide of Palestinians or else the same thing could happen to you, other vulnerable minorities”
Great coalition building strategy you’ve got there.
I could not have come up with a more perfect summary of why not only are dems going to lose but they could not more fully deserve it.
You really think that’s a good answer, people voice all the completely legitimate reasons theyre fucking furious with this pathetic excuse of a political party and your answer is to infantalize them.
Seriously when Biden loses and you’re telling yourself it’s because of people who oppose genocide having morals being a bad thing I want you to remeber this comment.
It’s still setting in how much this new tarrif on renewables pisses me off and I was just thinking I’m to the point I’m so fucking pissed at Biden and every stupid fucking move he makes that I’ve moved on from reasonable arguments and at thisnpoint my reaction to somebody trying to tell me Biden isn’t a huge piece of ahit is pretty much “suck my fucking cock you dumbshit fascist hypocrite”
So in response to you insisting you’re not saying everybody has to vote for biden and then immediatly lecturing me when I pointed out that’s what youw are saying
suck my fucking cock you dumbshit fascist hypocrite
I hope Biden and every liberal who supports him gets hit by a bus.
He completely failed so badly the cou try is going to swing to fascism because he literally failed to prevent a better alternative and every one of you useless dumbshit liberals who has been carrying water for him is to blame.
I don’t give a shit if you try to say I’m to blame, I’ve watched for 20 years as you’ve blown every possible decision, emboldened fascism at every step, and even now are punching left harder than you are punching right.
If you want to win the election stop being cartoonishly inept fascists and stop blaming the people who have been right about everything for the last 30 years while you’ve fucked them over while simultaneously lecturing them.
I have more contempt for you than chuds because chuds are at least honest that they hate me and were opposed. You dipshits constantly stab me in the back while lecturing me for not thanking you hard enough.
This country deserves nuclear hellfire.
So anybody who does anything other than vote for biden is “wasting” their vote.
But you’re not saying you just have to keep voting for the dems.
Ok
The day can’t come soon enough when the general public starts treating you libs with the contempt you deserve.
So your suggestion is to keep supporting the same people for ever no matter what they do.
How could that possibly lead to anything changing. You are explicitly sending the message “well keep supporting you no matter what so please do what we want even though it won’t make any difference to you if you dont.”
They’re going to vote for somebody who is not open about the fact that they are doing a genocide. if that’s too high of a bar for dems to clear that is dems problem and nobody else.
“You have tonvote for biden or trumpnwill bimb the rubble” is not an effective campaign strategy. They’ve concentrated the entire population into rafah and now they’re moving into rafah, exactly like every single person criticizing Biden has been screaming they’ll do since Biden started quadruppling down on unconditional support.
Trump might actually not be worse for Palestine because at this rate by next January there won’t be anybody left to genocide.
Oh did they figure out just smugly saying “Russia should give up their 2 year long military operation they’re winning and go home” wasn’t a serious suggestion.
In the later books Harry gets a slave and doesn’t free him but its ok because the slave is rude.
Because 90% of jobs don’t just let you do leisure activities on the clock and doing literally anything makes time go faster than sitting around doing literally nothing.
Catholics do a bunch of stuff other Christians think makes them not Christina.
The biggest one is the pope, catholic lore says the pope is the literal spokesperson for God on earth all other religions he doesn’t have authority.
Idolatry: other Christian religions don’t have a lot of images of saints or anybody other than christ and basically think catholics are wrong for worshipping Mary and saints on the same level as Jesus. Similarly it’s the difference between catholic crucifixes (has the dead guy on them) vs regular crosses
Transubstantiation: according to catholic lore when the alter boy rings the bell that is LITERALLY the body and blood of christ you’re eating. Pretty sure other religions think this is a step too far.
I think they’re good because it really highlights that “the rules are made up and the points don’t matter” is actually a better description of our economy than anything an econ student could come up with.
