7 months agoTo be fair, the line between those two is pretty thin. One does imply the other. You drawing a gulf between them is silly to me.

That’s not what blue collar/white collar crime is
Or it’s 4x10 shifts
2·7 months agoBased on your response, I’m guessing you didn’t read about the history of the phrase that I linked, which explains what it meant and how it was used in the early, mid, and late 20th century. As well as the 21st century.
Just because you think something means something doesn’t mean it’s true.

The word’s always been pretty straightforward. I’ve never seen it mean anything performative. It’s always just a soft and empathetic person to a harmful degree.
If you’re on the winning side, yeah they do
I don’t think “blame” is the right word here. They’re/we’re looking for reasons for how things ended up the way they did.
IMO it’s unhelpful at best and harmful at worst to look at the data and the people analyzing it and approach it as a blame thing - or even to assume it’s a finger pointing game. The facts are that the voting strategies of certain groups of people changed this election. The important thing moving forward is to understand who changed and why they changed, because then those things can be addressed.
And yeah, DNC leadership is either dumb or actively malicious because they keep pushing failed ideas under a false banner.
It’s an insult for being to sympathetic/empathetic and soft.
Ultimately meaning that if push came to shove, a bleeding heart would be so caught up in caring that they would fail to make a tough decision.
That’s not what those terms mean or why they are used as insults.
And, generally speaking, a few ethnic/gender groups changed their voting strategies this election, while others didn’t. The articles calling out different demographics are pointing out reality. Those shifts affected the results of the election.
That’s why they are being pointed out, instead of pointing out that one group did exactly what was expected of them and what they did last time, and the time before, and the time before…
So I’d challenge you that it’s not recriminations or gross, it’s simply pointing out what changed and how it led to us being in our current spot. You can’t fix things/change course without understanding where you are.
Oh good. I’m sure glad the author took a step back to consider the voting demographics of the latest election instead of using a sexist and racist argument.
How useful.
Fuckin called it.

To say it’s outdated is just insane and flat wrong.

No, I think everyone should absolutely vote and fuck trump. I’m just pointing out that this meme is misinformation and wrong.
It’s the same statement with extra steps. To pretend otherwise is to be willfully ignorant.
