Yeah, you gotta reframe it. "Don't you miss when people used more traditional ways to get around? Give me a horse or a bicycle any day".

They will agree to fucking anything if you preface it as "traditional"

From NSVRC:

“Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration.

An estimated 13% of women and 6% of men have experienced sexual coercion in their lifetime (i.e., unwanted sexual penetration after being pressured in a nonphysical way); and 27.2% of women and 11.7% of men have experienced unwanted sexual contact.

he wasn't trump. That's his whole platform, that's it.

Sorry, but this is one of those hyperbolic, uninformed, useless hot takes the Internet LOVES. You can literally look up his platform online, like so many places.

Here's Politifact tracking 99 of his campaign promises.
27 kept 5 compromised 1 broken 31 stalled 34 in the works

He's barely to the left of Joe Manchin

You know Biden & Manchin were in the same Senate together, right? So it's in fact quite easy to look up & see that this is completely false.

He was the most conservative Democrat candidate

That's not what voters thought during the primaries. This Business Insider ranking has him middle of the pack. And this Pew poll shows him having more liberal support than Bloomberg.

If you can show me a ranking of the candidates ideologies that shows Biden as the most conservative (actual data that supports your opinion, not just feelz), go ahead. I'll wait.

Can we PLEASE, in the Trump / Brexit era, recognize how baseless accelerationism is? Have we not learned the lesson of

"Once these people do this terrible, stupid thing, they will realize how terrible & stupid it is"

-is completely false? And in fact tons of people will double down on the stupid terrible thing? They'll double down so much that they'll gladly swallow horse dewormer & bleach, and not get vaccinated, and literally die drowning in their own fluids before admitting that maybe that wasn't such a good idea?

Hey folks, polite reminder that YOU (yes you!) can be on the DNC instead. If this headline upsets you, ask- why are you not on the rules & bylaws committee of your local Dems chapter?

People get upset at the DNC as if it's some mystical wizard that exists in a different dimension. BRO, what are you doing right now to get involved in the DNC you have such strong opinions about?

Polite reminder that third parties are not viable in a first past the post voting system, and that Democrats are the ones who have actually been instituting ranked choice voting (while Republicans are the ones taking it away & banning it)

Surely scalping can be addressed without infringing in my right to do what I like with my own damn property. Why is it better to let Tesla sue consumers than to just... limit the number of trucks a person can buy? 🤔

I used to donate to Signal, and they made the stupidest fucking decision I've ever seen.

You used to be able to use signal (at least on Android) as your default messenger app, sending encrypted Signals to other users, or SMS to non-signal users. Have a normie family member who doesn't know about computers? Easy, set it & forget it.

Now? They removed that functionality, so it only works for other signal users. Someone else had a good metaphor: imagine if http and https needed different web browsers & you couldn't see one on the other. How well do you think https uptake would have been?

So fucking stupid.
