"it's their fault if they get offended"
- person who doesn't value the opinion of those they offend
This is wrong. What OP said was very much offensive, comparing yourself to that of a slaver. It is a rare figure of speech, and while not intentional it is still offensive. However, the context of who you're talking to doesn't matter, it is an offensive statement regardless of the history of the person you're saying it to.
For OP: it is okay to make a mistake, especially when you recognize it.
Both of those terms are offensive in the US, too. People that use it just choose to not value the input from those that they offend.
And who should be the one to actually do the reforming? Everyone always asks for reform in the system but no one actually wants any specific entity to do it.
To make it true? That would be the federalists and the democratic republicans. To keep it true? Well that would be the winner-takes-all system the US has. Blaming a single entity for systematic issues will never work the way you want it to.
If the democratic party died tomorrow, a new party would take its place and it would be just as terrible as you believe the DNC is now.
If you got the money for that I'll be down to be your campaign manager
Dude did you even read my original comment? I said that the public opinion towards same-sex marriage has changed drastically. I appreciate you linking an article from 2014 from a highly biased conservative site, but, aside from the bias, it has no relevancy as the source I linked to you was as of 2022.
Show me a source that actually supports your claim.
I was gonna reply doing the same thing but I checked my own comment history and nah you got a point. Didn't realize how consistently irritated I get on here, I only comment when it's something that pisses me off. Thank you for pointing that pattern out, it's not something typical of me irl, as I tend to work around a variety of people in political spaces and am accustomed to working around differing ideals. Obviously, that doesn't show at all in my comment history.
That type of commenting isn't how I like to talk to people in real life, as I prefer to treat everyone seriously. I think that I kept deciding to just say fuck it for a second and go off, which lead to what you see there. Anyways, thanks again for pointing it out, I was unaware overly toxic I've become on here.
Edit: meant to also say I'm gonna make a point to talk to people the way I do irl from here on.
Please, just do a simple Google search and educate yourself:

Gay Marriage has had one of the most radical changes in public opinion of any concept in general. The overwhelming majority of people are in favor of it, to the point that it would be law even in places you would not expect.
I said what I said about your comment because it was smug and objectively untrue. Nothing irritates me more than that combination. Please, understand the way you learned things years ago does not determine the immutability of them.
This is the most worthless comment I've read on lemmy yet, not only is it wrong or also acts smug about it lmfao get outta here
Do you understand Montana isn't run by progressives?
