When they say "far left" they don't mean tankies or the ALF or the Weather Underground. They mean "someone on the internet of indeterminate gender who's annoying." #farleft

Vaccine "skeptics" are either unreachable or still willing to listen to reason. The former is dangerous, the latter is not. When Emily Oster writes about a "middle ground" of presumably reachable parents Just Asking her Questions she downplays the danger, carrying water for anti-vaxxers. #vaccine

Maybe loyalty isn't honorable, maybe it's just power reinforcing itself. You're protecting the social investments you've made and the actors you've made them with. #loyal

It was never giant douche vs turd sandwich. Even so, the correct analogy this time around would've been giant douche vs turd sandwich + the possibility of never getting to choose between douches & turds again. #vote #election #giantdouchevsturdsandwich #southpark
