He wasn't even running, Hillary was. He just loves fucking over marginalized groups that much
The worst part is it's not just liberals that do this. Sometimes it's leftists or even minorites trying to be "one of the good ones"
Fuck. Normal.
Normal got us global warming, data centers and assholes who open-mouth cough during a pandemic.
I've been rolling this around in my head as the discourse has gone on. I don't know if anyone is talking about the same thing. I think 'normal' just sucks as a term tbh. It has inherent reactionary undertones, and can mean anything from "sit down and shut up, take the L, moderate your positions" to "don't be antisocial, don't jump to hostilities, assume good faith." Fuck the former, but I think the latter is important.
Anyone trying to express the latter would be well-served by reframing it as "be cordial." You cannot have a movement if you can't be cordial. You will not be able to organize with people you are ready to deem an enemy without further investigation.
