You're just straight up provoking me now without even the pretense of trying to make any kind of point, so I'm going to just hit that block button and be done with this exchange.
I don't disbelieve it, but I'd like a better source than Gay Fox TM. I'm trans gay and leftist, but Pink News is a sensationalist rag with no integrity.
you seem like a very informed and educated person. please, do continue gatekeeping the term "withdrawl" based on your rigorous and well-sourced scientific definitions - oops I'm sorry, I mean petty judgment, scorn, and dismissiveness toward anyone who uses language appropriately despite your weird feelings about how words ought to be used. I'm sure you were a joy to have in class. Do you also have a breakdown about pedantry when the dictionary definition of a word isn't what you feel like it should be?
longtime user here, i tuck in with a bowl every night, and every morning i wake up with a dream still dancing in my head. when i go on a break i don't "start dreaming again", I have extremely vivid and bizarre dreams for like a week and then it settles back to normal. Drugs have more effect on dreaming than just "stop" and "go". I suspect the issue is less others being pedantic and more you being unwilling to challenge a deeply oversimplified take.
Meanwhile Biden has continued most Trump-era policies, almost like this red vs blue garbage is just that. We'll have fascism either way, enjoy your sheeplike complicity.
I meant the hypothetical in which Trump's "immunity" defense is upheld, libs love to powerfantasy about what Biden could do with this sort of "immunity" but history tells us that when Dems can choose whether or not to be restrained, they choose restraint, even if it means the GOP gets to hurt everyone.
man lemmy is spot-on identical to reddit, we even have alt-right trolls RPing as unreasonably smug and willfully ignorant liberals
Am I a trumper or a bothsidesing third-party voter? you somehow divined one or both of these from my comments (which according to you, you are "countering" without having read by acting like a parody of a smug liberal with nothing of substance to actually say), wherein I criticize Dems for their complicity with the GOP, their domestic human rights abuses, and their willingness to throw LGBT Americans like myself under the bus, but you don't seem to be able to make up your mind which. I'm just trying to understand where you're even coming from at this point, like are you okay dude? You seem less than rational.
please explain the "basic logic" behind claiming to "counter" something you proclaim yourself you didn't read... you're acting like a Shapiroite debate-me bro right now and it's cringe af. All of the ire and nothing to say but "nuh-uh, you're stoopid!"
time to reply, opine, and judge but not read... yeah that's a democrat voter for sure.
moreover, why do you think dem-enacted policies such as taxing the uninsured doesn't hurt the working poor?
why is your reading comprehension so bad? why are matters of public record "speculative" in your eyes? Why are you defending people complicit in a genocide? at least finish reading before you go twisting my point.
they're literally aiding and abetting a genocide right now as we speak
they happily enacted legislation penned by the freaking heritage foundation that put a tax on not having health insurance (read: a tax on not purchasing services from a private company while having a human body), and strutted about like it was a win
not to mention the VP's track record with trans rights (hint: as AG of Cali she went out of her way to land trans women in men's prison, against the prevailing policy in Cali at the time)
'member when Biden campaigned HARD on LGBT rights, and then told us to pipe down and wait our turn when he took office? We've not stopped backsliding since the Trump admin on that stuff.
The Dems are lying to you.
The Dems and Rs are playing good cop bad cop and always have been. They are very clearly on the same side, and the rest is a show to get willfully clueless and baby-brained people to support them.
man that's a hilariously knee-jerk take, with zero effort toward understanding the people you're demonizing.
I think Reddit is the place for you, after all. Slide on into that easy-to-grok, oversimplified, politically narrow US overton window safe space and consume the partisan garbage there to your heart's content. We like thinking over here.
"it's misguided and dangerous to recognize that the good cop and the bad cop are both cops and both want the same thing from you" bruh wat
I keep seeing hypotheticals like this as if the Dems won't pull the same old "we go high" BS they've been pulling my entire life. They're all about positioning themselves as "the good guys" while letting Rs do just whatever. The realistic way it would play out is Dems pretend nothing is wrong, make a show of "peaceful transfer of power" after the election, and do the shocked pikachu when it's bad. Do pay attention to modern history.
other one was removed so here's something a tad more civil (since the mods in here apparently have a redditesque view of civility): We don't want you. Please do not call yourself our ally if you you're going talk to/about us like that. There are plenty of people who aren't rotten in the brain who suppport us, we neither want nor need crap like this in our corner.
we don't want you kindly fuck off until you learn to not be a shithead to us
