Could we say that it’s improving the US externally?
I agree with you, but I want to point out that this conflation is a direct result of our election system because it mechanically cannot support more than two parties.
Any other political interests need to merge together into one big entity that is nearly impossible to disentangle from the rest, so now maga = conservatism and we lose a lot of nuance in or political decision making and ability to be represented.
I’m pushing for Election Reform this election to move past First Past the Post voting.
Sure, that’s true, but using Lego boys and Lego girls and just Lego people in general works too and is simpler, right?
I’m sure explaining that “Man is more like human in this case and not a gender or sex” is fun sometimes but ideas are evolving with more people and eventually it will just look too much like “Man is dogwhistle for subjugating women under men by calling them men”.
Is this bad connotation that more people will see over time worth holding onto the word Man as meaning everybody when we could just evolve our usage of language?
Why not Lego person instead of Lego man?
Rare in the US
What’s the difference?
Nope, our election system doesn’t support it and actually has a spoiler effect because you end up tacitly supporting the other side by not voting for one of the two strongest parties.
Election reform. When third parties are viable options (they are absolutely not now and just create a spoiler effect that works against your side), politics will need to shift to accommodate those interests. Push for Ranked Choice Voting and more!
Then turn it up to 11
