Yeah, I guess I can see your point. I was under the impression that a lot more people were aware of the root of that word. I grew up reading a lot of books, so I guess that factored into my view. Thanks for the perspective, I am all for phasing out legitimately problematic language.

So based off of that comment alone and the context surrounding it, do you truly believe their intent was to be misogynistic or were they using slang to emphisize their frustration while calling Biden a coward?

I am fairly certain "pussy" is slang for pusillanimous. Can it be used misogynisticly, yes. Was that the intent here, I don't think so based off the context.

To be honest, I don't think the policies and actions Biden's cabinet made outweigh the fact that he directly signed off on the continuation of the genocide in Gaza. But that is just my opinion.

Oh no! Big tech company bought out my barely functioning, small, energy inefficient AI business! Whatever will I do with these wads of cash!

It is a more palpable talking point to the more center leaning Democrats. Some people can convince themselves Biden did not have a hand in the Gaza genocide, but cannot deny the debate we all just saw. I am going to vote in a way that will deny Trump a win, but also I can acknowledge that Biden is an extremely weak choice for the primary Democratic candidate.

I am very worried about who they are planning on hiring as "Poll Watchers".

This is actually most likely the case. His fanbase typically does not have the highest cunning when it comes to commiting crimes. That, coupled with the Republicans planning hate crimes and the such, probably encourages requiring agencys get warrants before accessing the metric shit ton of data that brokers sell. It would make it harder to gather evidence if another insurrection occured.

Oh cool! Now the govt can create data collection regulations and ban TikTok if an investigation shows they are in violation of those laws! Oh yeah, I forgot it is just foreign adversaries potentially collecting US data that is the problem. Thank goodness they are strong arming TikTok into selling itself to a pre-existing media company instead!

Damn, we really got the shitty timeline, didn't we. I wish my tax dollars went to making the USA better instead of a dick measuring contest.
