  • The problem with your with your theory here is it’s entirely based on the person trying to communicate the idea. You leave absolutely no responsibility to the listener/reader. They have to have an open mind and pay attention and be ready to learn. They also have to actually read the words as they are written. In other words they can’t be so half cocked that they just assume they know what something means before they actually read it. Once they’ve done that they’ve betrayed their responsibility as the reader/listener.

    In short you read it wrong. That’s on you. You didn’t try to interpret it critically, or not even critically really just basically, you just assumed you knew what it meant. Now you’re having a hissy fit because you are wrong and don’t want to admit it. You want things handed to you with no effort on your part. Codling.








  • No. You misunderstand. I’m not saying they sre right wing in the global sense. I’m saying in the context of US politics they’re still not moderate. They are on the radical right wing of their party. These are Democrats that are against equal rights. Against women’s rights. Against Healthcare reform. Against 4th amendment rights. Against police reform. Plus a whole lot more. These are not moderates. Those are not moderate positions in the Democratic Party. Those are all radically to the right of what the members of the democratic party favor.

    The media keeps calling the moderates because they’re trying to shift the Overton window to the right, more. That’s why it’s so important that we not continue to use that language as if it’s normal.
