It's happening! He stabbed DDD into his chest!

(He didn't)

Thank you! I understand it's focused on one person, but ya get what i mean? It invites misunderstanding.

It's not wrong to phrase it this way, it's technically accurate to say" Lone LBGTQ+ Democrat". However it's definitely clunky and unnecessarily confusing.

Reading the title immediately raises the question in the reader: "If only one LGBTQ+dem, how many other Dems?

If his sexuality is the point, then his party affiliation isn't. If his party is the point, his sexuality isn't.

The Advocate speaks to issues in the LBGT+community, therefore speaking to his sexuality is relevant. Titles are supposed to summarize the article with more information as you read. If the article, brings up information it does not then answer, why mention it if not to confuse? Reading the title could easily cause the reader to mistake "Gay Democrat is lone LBGT+ vote" as the lone Dem vote.

WAS this the Intent? Well that's harder to parse.

Really, I'm not like, saying the advocate is trash or w/e, but i AM trying to take into consideration how often our news sources have biases (deliberate or internal) towards the 2 parties. MSNBC et al are known to push for the Democrats, FOX n ONANN etc for the Repubs. No arfument there, right?

Further, if "The Advocate"does in fact has a pro-Dem bias, I'm not even claiming they're morally wrong for doing so! But! As someone who personally feels the DNC is not a party for the people of the US, and sees often the cover they get from the aforementioned media who do, i'm very sensitive to and always looking out for examples of wording that give the Ds cover for doing its constituents dirty like they did with this vote.

80 other Democrats (thanks again btw) sold us out; and that information matters. Leaving that out is an extremely important omission, and for a magazine that frequently interviews Democratic representatives, it's an omission i cannot believe is unintentional.

This seems phrased in such a way as to obfuscate the democrats' vote on NDAA25, which i can't seem to dig up rn

Its (windows)10'oclock. Do you recall where your screenshots are?

I'm really starting to get how germans musta felt and how society just...slipped down. Like I'm looking right at it and my lil eyes are open as they've ever been but I'm still really having a hard time internalizing that dude is fr. Fuck me

Yo, Fascism already won my dudes. Biden is just seeing the writing on the wall and adapting to the change.

So i infer from your attitude you too will be adapting to this change? My dude?

This had better be bait. Fuckin libs mannnnn quit breathing my air

It’s time for the democrats to start doing the same. Taking the political high ground for “norms” and “traditions” is causing their constituents to suffer.

My brother in christ that is what this meme is saying. When constituents are crying out for help, the Dems tell us "Biden must not stoop to fascism". I remember liberal lemmyposters using that very argument quite recently. Biden finally decides to abuse his executive power after years of telling us "The D's are better than that" and it's for personal gain. THAT'S THE JOKE

Fuck me running... here you be defending that choice. Why?

Why?? It's abundantly clear he will never use it for you or me.

What part of this post is about mothafuckin Trump homie?

Stop enabling lawlessness cuz it's from your colored team.

I like it a lot when professional actors lose it once in awhile, it really adds a lot. I do end up disliking it when they do it too often, like it's part of their shtick. There was a dude on SNL for awhile who always cracked up and i hated him. It's gotta feel authentic to me.

I'm lookin into and learning more about mini greenhouses and how/what is easy to start growing. If i am successful i want to show others in my town how to break some of kroger's grip cuz shit's getting real out here. It feels like something im maybe capable of, so i guess I'm starting by pretending i can.

No the memes are gettin self-referential too quickly for me because i need even more cat pics.

I will add a cat pic because this post does not have one and by gaw it will

Probably try reading the missive before commenting cuz your take is catastrophically wrong and bad

I'm trying to figure out who the fuck might read this "polywork" bullshit and think to themselves: "yes. Both this take and this person are both sane and good"

Transgressions!

That title's a master-class in passive voice

It's really hard for me to understand why you stopped learning and started talking. You're supposed to keep doing both! instead of ending your education at high school and repeating things the rest of us have dismissed along with our pimples as ideas for children.

If 80 senators decide the vote should be anonymous then it could be, right? Normally i don't think that'd be possible but for something AIPAC hold so dear i could see it
