Voting in overwhelming margins diminishes the ability to successfully and credibly rig elections so it's still the play.


Right. I dont think its rigged like, say, Putins elections are rigged

The rigging here is done systemically, not via direct action

Uh, if you really believe an election is rigged, voting in it absolutely hurts your cause.


Then why did Trump vote in 2016?

It's an implicit endorsement of the idea that voting is legitimate


Hey, I might personally think a violent Marxist rebellion is the only way, but I dont presume to be objectively right! And no amount of voting decreases the chance of that happening

George Bush is an already public figure who verifiably did start that war

this Chinese scientist guy is someone no one has ever heard of who maybe had nothing to do with the virus outbreak

none of this is me saying I believe the Chinese governments official story, I just think its irresponsible to accuse some guy of being involved and share his personal information without real evidence


I think its the difference between the government and a citizen

ABSOLUTELY harass the Chinese government

ABSOLUTELY DONT intimidate individual people

Wonder if you'll still agree with this when he loses his majority.


Granted hes helped some by the awful format of the Senate, but to remain in power as long as he has despite being so unpopular, and with his party being the less popular party, and with the only person in his party that people like being the political nincompoop Donald Trump, its really impressive

You can't just say the house has failed without explaining how. Are you trolling?

Trump obstructed Congress, and congress submitted articles of impeachment including obstruction of Congress. What more do you want?

You have have the least curious mind to think the house is the one in the wrong here.

All presidents should be able to avoid impeachment by just not responding to it, and bogging the process down as much as possible?

That's so obviously unacceptable

I think shes actually using Congress here in the both houses of Congress manner

The ordinary person correlates gender and sex as the same and is referring to biological sex of what they biologically see in front of them when using a pronoun. They aren't trying to interpret what your brain waves say.

If they wish not to have a gender, they can be called it if they wish. They them is plural. It's dumb and illogical and at that point being ridiculous

Those are slurs. The issue here is with someone calling someone by the technically correct term not realizing someone wishes to be called otherwise.


Its not technically correct though

Youre not calling them male/female in a biological manner.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women.

Probably not. Just like I wouldn't call someone daddy who asks to be called that who isn't. The usage requested there is illogical to the point of patronizing. It is basically asking me to do something illogical to show adherence to them. Basically to show subservience.

That said. I am a huge softie so maybe I would if I felt they in earnest wanted that for genuine reasons, but it would be a game time decision on the spot just because it is basically a patronization vs earnest thing at that point.


You think many non-binary people are not earnest?

But you don't really have a right to control what other people call you. When you tell someone to address you as X you are giving a command. Usually that will be followed but if that's the first thing you say to a person, well it creates an atmosphere of hostility.

And we have another way to declare preferred pronouns - names! You have full control over what you use as your name (you don't have to use your legal name).


Uhhh are names not also a command?

Is there literally so much sensitivity that if someone misgenders you at first you can't handle it? Like, the people who are gonna abuse you for that are going to abuse you regardless if you have your preferred pronouns listed or not. That's why it just makes you look like a sensitive tool to do it.


Imagine having to do it often, in every online conversation.

Wouldnt it be easier on you at that point to just declare it up front?

Yeah, that will never happen. They will just make fun of the people they would have normally the same way they would have identified them otherwise. And, they will also make fun of the banner pronoun people as well.

Like, I wouldn't make fun of someone for their gender or what they wish to be called. But, I will tell you how ridiculous people are who do pronouns. And, especially ones who take it a step further to be "they".


Ok so yeah, its to help stop abuse from people like you then if you cant handle non-binary people existing.

The point is that if everyone does it, whether they are cis or trans [or enby!], transphobes wont know who to target just by having pronouns declared

er... Bernie is definitely more left than Warren is, though she's pandering harder to the fringe of the left that deals with identity politics a lot. if that's what you mean then yes, Trump performs better against that. i wouldn't consider Bloomberg over Sanders for that aspect either - he's trying to get that crowd won over too. it's only a matter of time until we hear a "Bloomberg, he/him" out of his mouth.


What is the problem with displaying your pronouns that people get so disdainful about?
