Oh, wow, so you're saying it's something you could explain in a sentence instead of being an obnoxious piece of poo poo about it? Maybe do the former next time instead of grandstanding?


I literally posted it to make fun of the guy who wrote that scare piece, which is why I immediately quoted who wrote the Op Ed.

i always liked your d&d posting well enough AA so i'll be clear

you're approaching this subforum as though it is fundamentally serious, like d&d. it isn't. making a joke isn't being an obnoxious piece of poo poo

they're economically illiterate and believe in the just world fallacy, so they think there's a reason other than naked greed that extensive social welfare doesn't already exist, and the easiest to rationalize is "it must be too expensive or abuela would have already done it"

"Bernie and his fringe of fake progressives" always meant to refer to a subset of his supporters, I have been told

https://twitter.com/UltimateMurphy/status/1013022386227240960

I see a political consultant who knows, like the politicians he advises, when to give a double-meaning loophole to everything so that if he gets into a tight spot, he can crawl out through it. "X and his fringe supporters", substituting other suitable words like far-left or far-right, could be interpreted to either characterize all supporters or refer to a subset of supporters with equal validity.

Unfortunately, the only way to prevent a double-meaning loophole defense in politics is to spot it, call it out when it's initiated, and ask a follow-up question to clarify the meaning, or else you will be accused of being mistrusting, uncivil, and paranoid. Then you have to hope that they respond to the follow-up.
