As long as you avoid direct threats and aggressive profanity it’s pretty easy.

Instead of saying “gently caress off you dumbass rape apologist” you just clean it up to something snarky like, “It’s okay to sweep sexual assault under the rug when it’s our team”.

I think it makes libs more upset anyways when you tear them apart within the bounds of their rhetorical decorum.

The gas tax is a sales tax and therefore a regressive tax, replacing it with a tax on miles driven would shift the burden to wealthier people and business entities who can afford to drive longer distances or use cars as part of their business model, and disincentivise the use of personal cars in favor of other forms of transportation, which is good in literally every way. Use the money from this tax to fund increases in public transportation, busses in the short term to replace the cars, trains and light rail in the long term. If you want, exempt small businesses so Landscaping Companies and whatnot don't get the pinch and its limited to big Trucking companies and shipping companies and Amazon and Uber and whatever else will still lean on cars.

Its a good policy that could lead directly to good outcomes, and if you think Democrats would LOSE votes by making the price of gasoline drop by like a dollar or more to be replaced by a modest annual tax lump that a lot of people won't even notice, you're silly.

It's hard to get across just how disastrous and bad Biden winning is. This election really was the most important one in our lives. We could have either elected Bernie Sanders or when the election was stolen from him, Trump. Either one would have better.

I really think back to back losses would have maybe made some people start waking up to the fact that democrats are just as bad, if not worse than republicans and that if our power structure is going to smother any third party and demand there only be two then massive change to what is even considered a democrat needs to happen. Most people are hopeless but a non-zero amount of people might have used Trump winning again as motivation to push for real change and progress.

Instead we got tens of thousands of suburbanites upset about mask laws punishing Trump and justifying everything the democrat party thought was true. 2016 was stolen by Russia! No need to change things! People prefer the rapist throwing children into cages and destroying the black community because he is the platonic ideal of a politician! Back to normal! At least he isn't orange man! Only possible outcome! Better Than Nothing!!

Right at a pivotal moment when we are facing down climate apocalypse and world on the verge of meltdown in our lifetimes enough voters decided they wanted to live in the 1990s that we set the clock back 30 years to West Wing style bullshit and wastes of time while every Biden voter cheers on the fact that he is doing poo poo objectively worse than Trump but that the important thing is that he is not Trump. Justifying, excusing, empowering and enabling Democrats in 2020 is going to turn out to be one of the worst things to ever happen to the world.
