@kaffando @QasimRashid "Democrat party." Anyone who uses MAGAt terminology is either a MAGAt themselves, or a useful idiot.
@kaffando @QasimRashid If it quacks like a duck ...
"Democrat Party" is right-wing rhetoric. Always has been, always will be. I'm not really interested in any self-proclaimed leftist's reasons for using it, any more than I am in parsing the difference between Nazi and Nazi-adjacent members of Trump's "very fine people."
@medigoth @kaffando @QasimRashid I think her point was, she's Australian so she made an honest mistake with the nomenclature or didn't know that 'democrat' was a dog whistle. False alarm, she's on your side, don't worry.
She, but yes, thanks. 😎
No, not a problem at all 😀
@BoysenberryCider @kaffando @QasimRashid Fair enough. I don't know anything about the nuances of Australian political terminology either ...
But OP is American, and *definitely* knows that "Democrat Party" is a right-wing insult. Or at least damn well should!
I've edited the original post so it's clear. My apologies if I caused offence.
@kaffando @BoysenberryCider Thanks, I appreciate it. And I apologize for being snappish. A bit on edge these days, and you can probably guess why, but that's not an excuse for being a short-tempered jerk.
No, not a problem at all. Just know that the majority of us here in Australia are with you.
@BoysenberryCider @kaffando As American as I am in most ways, I learned the value of restraint from my English father. I'm not as good at is as he is, of course. But I do my best.
@BoysenberryCider @kaffando thanks!
@medigoth @QasimRashid
I'm an Australian. That you've considered I'm anywhere near MAGA is pretty unhelpful.
If you also think Qasim Rashid is anywhere near MAGA, you really haven't been paying attention.
