im trying to imagine the mindset where you still use "democrat" as an identity for yourself or others and its simply impossible. these people have crossed the threshold of intelligibility
@garfiald *looks at the definition of democracy* *looks at the MODERN definition of "democracy" (aka parliamentary representation)* *looks at what politics are doing everywhere on the planet* does not compute
@garfiald most people I know still use Democrat or Republican instead of left/right or even liberal/conservative. I bristle at it nowadays but if someone asks me if I'm a Democrat I just sheepishly say "yeah" because then they have an idea, however vague, of where I'm coming from
