There are a lot of people who actively want to be called weird who are outright annoying.

Theres good cnts and bad cnts too , mostly there's the somewhat more neutral daft c*nts. words are wierd. It's like sometimes the meaning changes in different contexts.

I've been trying to make sense of the whole "weird" campaign, but concluded that it's actually just confusing and I'm not really sure what they are trying for.

It's because sexually insecure fascist weirdos are fucking creepy. That's not even a lie.

Dude, they will not shut up about people's genitals. "Please, please just let me watch you pee! I need to know if you're using the right bathroom!"

If I call a transvestite weird do they get mad about it?

[–] Agent641 2 points 5 months ago

Not if they are weird in non-trans related ways

[–] paraphrand 1 points 5 months ago

Well, if you use that word you will get some raised eyebrows at least.

In my experience, the act of calling people weird quite often says a lot more about the person saying it than the person being discussed. It's not a good look; it is an ugly thing to do.

You might be right in the context of high school name calling but you gotta get better at reading the room...

[–] CoffeeJunkie 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I read the room, I know how it is trying to be used, and it only reinforces the fact that most people kinda suck. I refuse to respect it.

I want campaigns based on policy, facts, and results. Not name calling & "feelings".

This is basically Democrat strategy; it requires no might or skill of any kind: a retarded kid throws a bucket of pig's blood onto a brilliant white shag carpet, points & screams about how dirty it is, and the Republicans scramble to clean up the mess. Wasting time, money, and effort on a mess that will never truly be clean again. Kind of like writing out a logical argument on this rabidly liberal platform, to have it downvoted & sometimes deleted. One side takes 5 seconds, ruins everything, very "effective". The other takes hours. Effectiveness...hit & miss. On its face, there is no way to win against the one throwing pig's blood on the white shag carpet.

But now the Democrats face Trump. Trump, at his best, doesn't really care if he's dirty or not. So that particular Democrat strategy is rendered ineffective. Lately he's wasted time addressing allegations, AKA, "cleaning up the mess". I want to see more debates on specific policies.

Ultimately, we'll see which side wins come November. Or perhaps there will be another assassination attempt. ¯\(°_o)/¯ It's hard to say. I am inclined to think they're going to kill him. I've said that for probably the past year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You and I have very different goals. I assure you the Democrats' rhetoric is working well for mine.

[–] CoffeeJunkie 1 points 4 months ago

We're in agreement on that. 👍🏻
