The Democrats didn't give people a choice, you know, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LITERAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LITERAL</span></a> definition of their party. No DNC, no primary alternatives, just <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenocideJoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenocideJoe</span></a>, an octogenarian with dementia. <br>When <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopMala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CopMala</span></a> took over, a black woman who defied Federal Court orders to keep California citizens locked up so she could use <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SlaveLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlaveLabor</span></a>.<br>She was never going to win, when Americans hate Blacks but hate Women more.

Shantell Powell<p>This has been a problem for me all my life. When I ask for clarification on ambiguous questions/assignments, I've been called a smartass or a dumbass and am chided for not understanding the obvious. I've been called a disturber or told to use my brain. It's left me paranoid and wondering if subconsciously I am doing this on purpose. A lifetime of gaslighting. </p><p>The same thing goes when people use synecdoche and I think they're being literal. As an example, years ago, my in-laws, a military family, were talking about war and said "when we were in the Middle East." Confused, I said, "oh, I hadn't realized you lived there too."</p><p>This made them blow up at me because apparently I was supposed to know the "we" meant the Canadian military in general, and not my in-laws. <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/literal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/synecdoche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>synecdoche</span></a></p>
