No. That's why I usually say I'm a progressive on paper, but no modern politician represents that definition despite what they may call themselves. I like that Bernie would invest in the environment and tax the shit out corporations and billionaires though.

Progressive on paper, right wing weirdo in practice got it.

Anonymnity is a primary cause for the higher rate of insults in online comments compared to in-person interactions, driven by the "online disinhibition effect". This phenomenon, where users feel unchained from typical social standards, leads to increased toxicity, lack of accountability, and dehumanization of others.

Whatever eats at you, I hope improves. We're all in this life together.

I know this dude is banned so it's weird for me to comment but does anyone else find the lib tactic of insinuating emotional instability and mental unwellness in people to be ableist cliche at this point?

It is, along with finding ways to try to call you the r-slur without technically saying the specific word.
