the democrat party will lose if a segment of their voter base abstains from voting
and
the democrat platform can afford to completely ignore a segment of their voter base so doesn’t need to adjust their platform
are two mutually exclusive positions
the only solution is to buy so many stickers that you couldn’t possibly use them all in your lifetime
the first result is the wikipedia article, which as we’ve discussed, is several thousand words long
i’m not trying to justify my use of language, i’m explaining why you’re wrong, and you’re responding by gesturing vaguely towards the concept of a dictionary
you’re not avoiding excessive detail in a definition due to a limited character space, you’re saying that a word can literally only ever have the precise meaning ascribed to it by the dictionary
those are two completely different things and it’s astonishing that you would even try to make an argument that bad after opening this discussion with “i’m sure you can do better than that”
doubling down on the stance of not understanding linguistics isn’t the play you seem to think it is
the wikipedia article on zionism is several thousand words long, and you seem to think it’s possible to accurately boil that down to a one or two sentence dictionary entry
I’m sure Republicans have many definitions for a liberal.
it’s more that they don’t have a definition at all
they use it similarly to “woke”, in that its a nebulous word that takes on any given meaning that they want given the context
if you tried to distill its myriad of uses into an actual definition you’d get something like “person i disagree with to the point of dislike”, at which point the dumb part becomes making an assertion as utterly vacuous as “i don’t like people i don’t like”
it’s completely dissimilar
“liberal” is significantly less specific in its implications, both in terms of modern day parlance and historical roots, than “zionist”
i like the concept of hiring other gooners to have a big sweaty circlejerk with
the point being that continuing to vote for parties that refuse to stop supporting genocides will result in those genocides continuing unopposed
okay then why don’t you tell me why “there are multiple genocides happening while biden is president” is a relevant point to bring up in context that helps your case
you’re arguing support of biden because “he isn’t failing to stop a genocide, he’s failing to stop multiple genocides”
don’t worry this also won’t be the last genocide attempt in either of our lifetimes
the hypothetical worst case you propose if trump gets elected is literally not as bad as where palestine already is
they are grapes that never learned the grace of god
yes republicans banning books compares to having your home bombed into rubble while a nation state attempts to exterminate your people
A man walks into a bar and orders three beers.
The bartender brings him the three beers, and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third, until they’re gone.
He then orders three more and the bartender says, “Sir, I know you like them cold, so you can start with one, and I’ll bring you a fresh one as soon as you’re low.”
The man says, “You don’t understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the Ireland. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night, we’d still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three beers, too, and we’re drinking together.”
The bartender thinks it’s a wonderful tradition, and every week he sets up the guy’s three beers. Then one week, the man comes in and orders only two. He drinks them and then orders two more.
The bartender says sadly, “Knowing your tradition, I’d just like to just say that I’m sorry you’ve lost a brother.”
The man replies, “Oh, my brothers are fine. I just quit drinking.”
