Electing a fascist dictator to own the liberals

If the Dems won every election on center left policies, the only option left to the Rs would be to do another party switch and go further left. That’s how we get an actual left wing party.

Then the people whose votes don’t matter electorally decide that the popular vote isn’t relevant, so they don’t bother.

Hey guys! If Kamala wins the popular vote by >70% but loses the election, there will be riots. There could be a revolution. And she has the numbers to do that if you guys could just vote.

Don’t forget the fake communists bragging that they won’t support genocide and that’s why they’re not voting.

Hey, socialism angels: do you drive a car? Do you emit carbon dioxide that is projected to cause 1 billion deaths, mainly in poorer countries, by 2050? If so, why do you support genocide? You refuse to support genocide one day every 4 years, but actively participate the other 1460?

at the end of the day it’s really not our/drag’s job to drag people kicking and screaming into enlightenment

Drag believes that all sapient beings have an ethical duty to help others. Participation in society is on some level endorsement. We pay our taxes to governments that use them for war and cruelty. We live in homes that were deforested to make way for suburbs. Drag lives on land stolen from indigenous people. We drive cars to work, and eat meat. Our current society is one that is designed in such a way as to make our existence harmful. To twist apathy into evil. Therefore, we can’t afford to be apathetic. We have to be political, to make up for all the evil that is done in our names. Drag is vegan. Drag doesn’t drive. Drag protests for Palestine. Drag argues for medium density housing. Drag tries to support indigenous rights. Drag thinks all of that is the absolute bare minimum to even become a neutral person. Drag wants to be a good person, so drag does more than that.

Reek does stop the general public, and a cult can’t win an election alone.

Yes, exactly. Drag’s pronoun does follow all the rules of English, just not the conventions. This should make drag’s pronouns very easy to understand with an open mind, and very hard with a closed mind, or with a mind that’s never really thought about grammar before. Drag would expect that a professional linguist would have absolutely zero trouble adapting. Drag’s pronouns anger people who are less literate, because they confuse conventions for rules. (Literacy is not a binary. Literacy is a scale, and most adults stop learning at a relatively low level of literacy).

When it comes to the anger that isn’t related to grammar, however - like lying that drag changed the subject in the thread, or lying that drag is demanding others use drag’s pronouns - that’s not confusion, that’s transphobia.

Doesn’t matter when their noses smell a shit

Dogs are omnivores, while cats were until recently carnivores. Triceratops is a herbivore, so it would have likely smelled more like a dog’s. Probably not that much different than a cow’s.

Drag doesn’t know a single person who buys into that penis size stuff and isn’t a conservative. In fact, most of drag’s friends have a penis and want to get rid of it.

Drag didn’t do that.

That’s because those plans and policies were drafted 10 years ago when coal was cheaper. These days the plans being made are based on solar, because solar is the cheapest.

Which, have they even said they’re trans before now?

the post seemed to be wanting discussion about that

Mostly wanted to vent. People are horrible.

What strikes drag about all of these comments is that they’re not just mean, they’re… dumb. People insisting their false memories of drag demanding they use drag’s pronouns are correct. People choosing not to use their heads. People inventing fake reasons for the ban (like saying drag changed the subject to drag’s pronouns) so they can still believe that attacking the trans person was justified. It never happened, but they confidently state it and get tons of upvotes. They want to believe it and so do most of the lurkers in the thread. Whatever they can fool themselves with to think that the trans person is mean and bad. Inventing a fake fight so they can make it real with their “retaliation”, whether it be a man, a he/him, calling drag a narcissist…

Maybe the artist is a mum with a troll in her basement. Or maybe she has a shithead cousin who says this garbage at family reunions.

Drag is using language you can understand easily, because drag is talking to you. To a normal person, drag would say “You know how on your phone, you can’t just look at your files? Like you have a separate app for photos, and documents, and you can’t just look at all your files from one app like you can on PC? Well, you can actually if you use an android. Here’s the app that does it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.nbu.files&hl=en_AU”

Drag even casually named an operating system during that speech, and would have been understood perfectly by most people.

No. Most people drive cars, despite the fact that they know cars are destroying all life on earth. Most people are capable of rationalising their behaviour to remove culpability for the consequences of their actions. Most people are evil, in the same kind of banal way that most people in Nazi Germany accepted the new way of doing things and didn’t fight back, because they felt they had too much to lose from resisting.

And it’s fine to talk about enby issues in any discussion, because enbies are the most oppressed gender demographic.

The internet is part of real life. Internet trolls are real people behind their screens, and they live somewhere. Maybe they live far away from you and near this artist.
