“Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself. (I am large; I contain multitudes.)” ~ Whitman

For my sins, I’m back in Missouri.
Ew. No. Absolutely not.

Ummm…white collar workers are not “reading a lot of stuff and changing it into plain English.” They’re reading stuff, comparing, contrasting, making judgement calls about what’s useful & correct & relevant and sometimes (if things are going good) making creative leaps. LLMs do almost none of that.

I even saw someone in the replies suggest that if she didn’t like the generalization, she should be working harder on the ground to flip the state blue. ABOUT A WOMAN WHO IS LITERALLY RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT TO TRY TO FLIP A SEAT BLUE.

Some folks just want an excuse to indulge their classism.

Yes, and this instinct the Dems had (and still have) to just say “ignore it; it’s just a distraction” really bites them in the ass sometimes. Like yeah, it’s demeaning to have to engage with their lies, but not engaging means it can start to take on a feeling of truth to folks who aren’t plugged in.

I think there’s also the fact that there’s a direct line between his policies and a quickly crashing economy that he can’t blame on a pandemic this time and so he’s bleeding goodwill on that front too. Folks might overlook it their groceries really WERE getting cheaper.

LOL. It’s a white-male adjusted definition of “harassment” that just means they were loudly disagreed with and they didn’t like it.

It’s crazy that, after a decade of hearing that Trump gets away with everything because his base is unified behind him, we’re not allowed to enjoy it when his base starts splintering. Like guys…this is the thing we’ve been waiting for. Let’s stop scolding each other & lean into the cracks instead.

Yep. And it also explains why there’s such a booming ecosystem of right-wing voices making sure men are blaming women precisely because they don’t want the system to change.

That sucks. Get well soon, hun.
