[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]The main goal of today's Republicans is not to create public policy, but to "own the libs". Distorting the name of our party may make them sound like toothless illiterates, but it gets our goat (or so they believe). That's a fair exchange as far as they are concerned.

I have never understood why they think this is insulting. It's mostly puzzling and little bit dumb. I don't know any Democrat who feels at all bothered or insulted by it. [/quote]

now you know one. it bothers me. [/quote]

Really? Why does it bother you?

Imagine we are 13 years old, and your name is Susan. Except every day I say "Hi Suzanne!" when I see you, then look at my friends and laugh. When you say, "That's not my name," I say, "Oh, but Suzanne is such a pretty name" then my friends and I laugh some more.

I believe the kids call this a "microaggression" - it's basically just irritating and dumb. But moreover anyone who says it is outed as being some kind of moron Trump supporter, so at least there's that.[/quote]

I can totally imagine my 12 year old getting upset by something like this. But as one of the adults in the house, I offer comfort and empathy and explain to her why she should let little things annoy her.[/quote]

See, and you're doing it now. I am telling you that it bothers us when you say that. And you're saying "Oh but it's such a pretty name! I offer you comfort and empathy that you cant see what a pretty name it is."

You're a jerk, basically. And you feel like if you say "I'm just trying to help you!" it makes you less of a jerk. But actually it makes you more of a jerk.
