Don't worry! It's the types that need to launder money that this will serve. Problem solved!

Repurposing existing pronouns is the problem. Other languages have nice, gender neutral pronouns. We just need a nice new, singular gender neutral pronoun.

Example...

He/she/fai Him/her/hai

Then make it standard to use the neutral version where gender doesn't matter. Telling a story about your teacher? Is it pertinent we need to know the gender? No? Then standardize on the neutral version.

English has always been one of the most fluid languages. Why stop now? Just fix it.

It didn't use to be. I remember most churches on the 80s had a message of, "try to be a good person" and then everyone would hang out and chat. Pretty chill space. Can't stand going to any churches now.

Exactly. The more claims you can deny the lower you can make premiums appear because you're not actually paying out.

And I imagine it'd be even easier on a podcast with a production crew to edit the material to help craft and maintain an image.

You mean, like passing a decree requiring all incoming presidents to sign an ethics pledge before taking office?

I don't agree. The dnc opted to go with a strategy of, "we don't need to listen to the will of the voters, and we'll double down on doing the same gd thing we've always done, you either get on board, or bad-man wins!"

People want change. DNC refused to make even the hint of willingness to change, it's no surprise they lost so many voters.

This was entirely avoidable.

My only hope is that the DNC will finally wake the fuck up and introduce an actual progressive platform. But shit, I said the same thing when Hillary tanked. So why would it be different now?

Exactly. Maybe someone could have mentioned this during election season if it was so important?

You thought it was bad for Obama? Buckle up, we're in for a wild ride.

I think you misread. He said "disguising", which only means intent to keep hidden by masking the truth.
