So how do we make it impossible for them to ignore?

How do we make sure they absolutely hate their jobs everyday for the next 4-8 years?

This is censorship. Supporting this, or anything like this is censorship. de facto or status quo doesn't absolve you of lovely loving policies and lots of people were and are against the ESRB, the Ratings boards etc, etc. They suck and if I ever get the chance they will be eliminated.

I want a system that tells me exactly how much titty is going to be in my video game before I buy it, in case I don't like titty, without in any way restricting my ability to purchase that video game, in case I do like titty.

But this is kinda far afield from the Democratic Post-Mortem and/or Viva la Resistance

First they came for the video games, and I said nothing, because lol fuckin' videogames.

Then they came for the anime titties, and I said nothing because anime isn't real.

tl;dr now the Harry Potter series are the only books still legally allowed in America, and we only understand events through the lens of Harry and his friends.

No no, its not, uh, sexual perversion. Its discipline. Yeah. Thats all.

Hope this helps guys I'm glad my barely-literate rear end was able to punch "government censorship of comic books" into google so I could paste the link here, where nothing I'm saying has any relevance to the conversation but I get to pretend I'm participating by regurgitating information from the compendium of useless facts I possess, garnered from a proud history of hiding spider man comics behind my civics textbooks for my entire education.

Nobody likes moral scolds. And if you think that's hypocritical considering the above then you're right, but the people who voted against Clinton over vidja are also fascists who only care about their own personal indulgences. So what?

You're right, which is why Hillary called off her video game crusade a decade ago. The moral scolding was coming from the right this time, which is weird considering the kind of poo poo the AR was pushing.

What's the difference between a "liberal" and a "progressive" exactly?

Liberalism is all the poo poo we talk about Lena Dunham and safety pins. It's a petite bourgeoisie political philosophy that says "COEXIST" and believes in an ethical capitalism where Tom's shoes is making a difference and Whole Foods is improving the world.

Progressivism, to me, is people who do poo poo. People who go to Standing Up for Racial Justice meetings, people who don't give a poo poo about how irritated gentrifiers get when you criticize gentrification, and people who do not live on self-sustaining communes but still are comfortable openly criticizing capitalism.

Houston, we're Havana problem.
There's overlap in regards to broad concepts like "gay people are okay" in contrast to socially conservative political ideologies but the differences have had a huge spotlight put on them in response to the liberal wing of the left having the republican party poo poo directly into their mouth this year. It's good and even important to distance yourself from liberalism as a brand because it is inextricable from the Tina Fey Sheryl Sandberg Tom's Shoes brand of leftism which isn't really leftism at all to be frank.

Even if just from a pragmatic standpoint, liberalism is dead so calling yourself something different is a good idea.
