@TonyStark Already during the Primaries I was starting to get sick of those people, but at the time I still respected their dissent: after all, if you're gonna cast a protest vote, the Primaries are the place to do it, because the worst that can happen is we get a different Democrat, rather than a Republican.

Even so, I voted affirmatively for Biden to counter them, even that early on.

@br00t4c That does seem inevitable. One path forward I foresee is the Republican party collapses, then the dominant Democratic party develops rival factions and splits into two parties, but with a shared foundation (rule of law, help people rather than hurt them, etc) on which to base normal political disagreement. A shakeup that hopefully leaves a lot of accumulated cruft behind and gives Leftists a first-party position. Stranger things have happened.

@ryanhoulihan Similarly, to say a girl is "one of the guys" implies she fits in with an otherwise-male group.

@foone The escapism of video games isn't that you get to slay the dragon or explore the galaxy or whatever: It's that the problems you encounter are within your power to solve. 💁🏻♀️
