I included the response I would have sent, were the thread not locked. This is how coward libs argue. They’re calling the well-known study by Purdue demonstrating that the US is a oligarchy a “far left news source”, for context.
It’s crazy
Smug liberals stop using ableism to insult their enemies challenge. Difficulty level: I N S A N E
Thought about calling this out as well, I’m glad you did. This is a extremely naturalized form of ableist discourse (along with insane, stupid, etc) and I know I mess it up sometimes, though I try earnestly to use words that are equally vigorous but not ableist language.
ableist discourse (along with insane, stupid, etc)
using those words is ableism? lol get me outta here
The one I struggle with most is lame
My brain suggests I use it all the time and I can never find a word that fits the meaning I want but without the connotation
I’m trying to use brain worms to convey the notion that someone’s mind is rotten from propaganda, as a way to substitute this language, but I don’t always get it right, as yet.
Purdue? The guys that tell me how to cite works in my academic essays??
10% of voting-age citizens in the US are not allowed to vote (disproportionately minorities). Of the rest, turnout is usually ~55% and the vote for either party is usually around or under half.
So in the absolute best case scenario, the government is put in by 25-30% of the voting age population, the overwhelming majority of whom are wealthy, white and/or old. So not much has changed.
Obviously without mentioning the many other issues, including the two-party system offering effectively zero choice for any voters anyway.
