      She is the chosen successor to the late Eddie Bernice Johnson, who held the 30th district for 30 years, and won almost 80% of the vote, so we’ll probably be seeing her for a long while.

          That’s fashion’s whole point, though: to make assholes look glamorous. I never understood why anyone was surprised at the proclivities of its members. 🤷🏽

        Not just any politician. She’s trying to enact a theological fascist regime. All is fair in love and war.

          The thing to stress is that cleaning up + being true to what you’ve got + kindness + confidence + a nice personality, will go a long way to cover for ugly (just for all my fellow uggos out there), but selling out humanity subtracts any bit of charisma or allure you might’ve had going for you

        They are both run by toddlers vying for the most attention. Don’t delude yourself by thinking House Democrats are a bastion of intelligence and maturity.

            No one said that here. You’re just reducing the conversation to an idiotic meme, just like the two “representatives” in this case are doing. Just shouting bullshit at each other and thinking that makes you smarter because you got the last word. Well newsflash, this doesn’t solve anything. It just strokes your own goddamn stupid ego “my zinger was better than hers” which is absolute moronic stupidity.

            Yes, Biden is better than Trump. But both sides do seem absolutely intent on a race to the bottom and we’re gleefully cheering on our side to get there first. No one is trying to be the better person. Obama kind of did and we flamed him to hell for trying, he was too civil and tried too much to compromise, right? Beating the republicans at their own game is never going to happen. Just by getting us to play their game they win.

              I am neither Dem nor Trumpublican… without abolition of the more heinous party (GOP) through resistence from other non-fascists, we have no hope of improving. I am not a “we” with Dems. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Though, being forced to vote for a literal “lesser of two evils” does not remove the sidedly inaccurate notion that “getting us to play their game they win” isn’t BS. If you DON’T play, they win. Well-natured beliefs that “rising above pettiness wins” have continuously failed against their churlish word games. If they smirk and say “royal flush” while playing checkers, throw down an Uno reverse card. Fuck the game if rules only apply to some players. Acquiescence to GOP fuckery is weak.

    We’re no better than MAGAts if we stoop to their level and use playground insults. Even if it’s warranted.

      She wasn’t insulting though, only asking if using such description was a personal attack according to the ruling.

      Yeah. Sadly I’m gonna have to drop lemmy soon just like Reddit. Eventually it just becomes propagandist noise. And for some reason this morning I seem to be running into a lot of it.

      I continuously see comments about speaking to them in a language that they can understand, as well as comments about being the better person and not stooping to their level. Problem is, the only language that they understand is the language you don’t want people to use.

        Playing the republicans’ game doesn’t give us a chance to win. It ends up in the board getting flipped and that, in the end, is what they want.

        This is how you lose the vote of independents and rational thinkers. They’ll reject and vote third party. But. I agree. Fuck civility. Lol

        This was a well crafted comeback after being directly insulted and then denied a censure on the offending party. Don’t get your panties in a twist.

        Signed, someone that’s not voting for either main party.

      In this case she started the fight. I wouldn’t punch someone because I didn’t like them. However if they do start punching me, I do have a right to defend myself. While insults aren’t the same and I’m not really the type to get that much into it, when people like MTG or Alex Jones do it, I’m not going to have qualms with it being dished back to them. I mention Alex Jones because he does it to a ridiculous degree, and has had MTG on multiple times to spew similarly vile hate.
