"Joe Biden for president. He's not a whiney b****." [View all] NurseJackie Jun 2020 OP

I think that will make for a very fine bumpersticker Siwsan Jun 2020 #1

Not on my car. cwydro Jun 2020 #114

Out of curiosity, do you consider the word 'bastard' to be misandristic? Siwsan Jun 2020 #121

I've not heard anyone use that term in ages. cwydro Jun 2020 #123

I do completely see where you are coming from Siwsan Jun 2020 #125

Bastard is a moralistic slur rather than a gendered term. Bitch is gendered, inextricably. Caliman73 Jun 2020 #126

I love such input from DUers! Siwsan Jun 2020 #127

Ha.. I called BLOTUS Whiny yesterday! Biden doesn't try Cha Jun 2020 #2

I am going to object to the "bitch" part. Collimator Jun 2020 #3

I agree. Thanks. We have so many very good ones that apply brilliantly. We do not need to jab at LizBeth Jun 2020 #7

Agree also. Whiner works fine by itself. yonder Jun 2020 #9

I agree with you, but it needs to be hard, not nice. cayugafalls Jun 2020 #10

Oh, I was being nice because that's my general style. Collimator Jun 2020 #17

Gotta agree. Tipperary Jun 2020 #18

The term has evolved. It's no longer tied to a gender. ecstatic Jun 2020 #76

It has evolved PatSeg Jun 2020 #101

No shit. dalton99a Jun 2020 #4

Proper credit for the creator: JHB Jun 2020 #5

Thanks! NurseJackie Jun 2020 #14

Well deserved BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #25

Nah. As a Democrat I am not throwing out a sexist jab to score some points, while being cool. LizBeth Jun 2020 #6

... NurseJackie Jun 2020 #11

Some are better than that melman Jun 2020 #16

With you. Tipperary Jun 2020 #19

Love it Jackie! BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #8

I know, right? NurseJackie Jun 2020 #12

Sexism has got to be had in a street fight, after all. Lol. It is, what it is. LizBeth Jun 2020 #13

A terrific ad is what it is. BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #27

Can we call him gay slurs too? How about racial slurs? Tipperary Jun 2020 #20

nobody's forcing you to watch it. BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #21

What different does it make if I watch it? Seriously? Tipperary Jun 2020 #24

It certainly allows the engagement of self-righteous sanctimony. So there is that... LanternWaste Jun 2020 #37

So we should use slurs for other marginalized groups, eh, LW? Tipperary Jun 2020 #47

It has neither gay slurs nor racial slurs. It's a very well done video. George II Jun 2020 #29

That's correct. It has neither gay slurs nor racial slurs and is a well made video. PTWB Jun 2020 #34

Fine. If you don't think it has a place here then there are ways to deal with it. Have at it! George II Jun 2020 #45

Uh oh.. refusing to answer a simple question again. PTWB Jun 2020 #52

You seem to like asking questions like "did you stop beating your wife/husband/partner yet?" George II Jun 2020 #53

What a strawman. PTWB Jun 2020 #54

Introducing you hypothetical question about trump becoming a Democrat... George II Jun 2020 #55

Again, imagine my surprise when I opened up this thread and saw you questioning another poster. PTWB Jun 2020 #58

Imagine my surprise when I saw you say you were "participating" in the thread and yet.... George II Jun 2020 #59

What can I say? PTWB Jun 2020 #60

That's seven. Glad I found another purpose in life for my retirement years. George II Jun 2020 #61

What is your purpose? PTWB Jun 2020 #65

"condemned gay and racist slurs" melman Jun 2020 #62

Well, technically he only acknowledged that they weren't present. I suppose he didn't condemn them. PTWB Jun 2020 #63

Definitely not melman Jun 2020 #66

It is odd to me too. PTWB Jun 2020 #70

I believe there's only one, why the repeated "they"? George II Jun 2020 #64

You believe there's only one what? melman Jun 2020 #67

Who are "they" of which you speak, other than me? THAT is "only one what". George II Jun 2020 #68

Okay melman Jun 2020 #69

What question? George II Jun 2020 #71

Do you support the use of misogynistic slurs, gay slurs, and/or racial slurs? melman Jun 2020 #72

Why are YOU asking me to answer that question, it wasn't asked by you.....or was it? George II Jun 2020 #73

Another dodge melman Jun 2020 #74

Yes, the answer to my last question is becoming increasingly clear. BTW, when I was growing up.... George II Jun 2020 #75

Interesting melman Jun 2020 #77

I know you obsess about where I've lived over my lifetime, we've been through this before: George II Jun 2020 #78

I didn't know any of that melman Jun 2020 #79

Of course you knew that - perhaps you should fine tune your cataloging system and cross references? George II Jun 2020 #81

I'm not interested in you answering that question melman Jun 2020 #82

Really? How about this: George II Jun 2020 #83

Yes, that was me melman Jun 2020 #84

Oh, then why did you ask it (more than once)? George II Jun 2020 #85

So everyone could see you repeatedly refuse to say no melman Jun 2020 #86

Everyone is going to be disappointed - both of you. George II Jun 2020 #87

If you object to the use of "they" as a pronoun for a person of unknown gender muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #89

I think it's safe to say that everyone knows what my gender is.. George II Jun 2020 #91

Or you were responding to someone who just uses "they" when it's not known muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #94

I suspect "George" is a huge clue, and the person I responded to hangs on every word... George II Jun 2020 #95

"George II" is a historical figure. So, no, it's no clue, since you're not a dead king. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #96

That historical figure was a male (btw, there were two, both males), and George II... George II Jun 2020 #97

Absolutely melman Jun 2020 #102

Case in point: George II Jun 2020 #107

Oh look who's here melman Jun 2020 #108

Yes indeed - in response to a subthread in which I was involved and you responded (surprisingly?)... George II Jun 2020 #109

Holy shit melman Jun 2020 #110

No, are you? George II Jun 2020 #112

Certainly not melman Jun 2020 #113

Oh no! sheshe2 Jun 2020 #128

Hey melman Jun 2020 #129

Welp. You had no problem with it here. sheshe2 Jun 2020 #130

So we'll put you down for agree then melman Jun 2020 #131

No. sheshe2 Jun 2020 #133

Life sure can be a ............... oh, you know what I mean. Maybe I should say.... George II Jun 2020 #134

Back at ya! sheshe2 Jun 2020 #139

I posted an article to show the context of the BJG tweet everyone was fake-outraged about melman Jun 2020 #136

Yet you posted it. sheshe2 Jun 2020 #143

I posted a link melman Jun 2020 #144

Bravo! sheshe2 Jun 2020 #149

Some people are gracious in accepting defeat la-trucker Jun 2020 #154

It would be nice if they had melman Jun 2020 #159

I didn't mean the others la-trucker Jun 2020 #161

Oh melman Jun 2020 #163

Good Job, she! There's a word for criticizing Cha Jun 2020 #141

Admire your memory LOL...anyway, I dont like them using the word, Eliot Rosewater Jun 2020 #160

Hey Eliot. 😊 sheshe2 Jun 2020 #162

Oh, I know...I dont like it on the phone. And going OT for a little bit, you would Eliot Rosewater Jun 2020 #164

You seem to have attracted two of them, George mcar Jun 2020 #156

Thank you. nt Tipperary Jun 2020 #48

Um ok, so no gay or racial slurs. Check. Tipperary Jun 2020 #50

If supporters of Senator you-know-who had done this melman Jun 2020 #15

C'mon man. Yesterday it was "said individual", today it's "Senator you-know-who".... George II Jun 2020 #22

Oh it's such a mystery melman Jun 2020 #23

It is. Why post something about someone if you're not willing to say who it is? George II Jun 2020 #26

Another great mystery to be solved melman Jun 2020 #28

Sorry, not interested in playing tonight. George II Jun 2020 #31

Is that what you call it? melman Jun 2020 #33

The ad only works so well because Biden isn't "whiny", unlike lapucelle Jun 2020 #30

You of all people trying to call someone out for not saying something is amusing. PTWB Jun 2020 #36

Back to that irrelevant and hypothetical question based on a false premise from days ago? And.... George II Jun 2020 #39

Imagine my surprise.. PTWB Jun 2020 #40

My question was about the source of data that was presented..... George II Jun 2020 #41

They're both simple questions. PTWB Jun 2020 #49

No we wouldn't. What an absurd accusation! NurseJackie Jun 2020 #35

Okay melman Jun 2020 #42

Haaaaa! NurseJackie Jun 2020 #44

.. George II Jun 2020 #46

Brianna Joy. sheshe2 Jun 2020 #137

They did? melman Jun 2020 #138

It had to be an ad? sheshe2 Jun 2020 #140

Uh melman Jun 2020 #142

I would like to make one other point Collimator Jun 2020 #32

not a bitch, he's a BABY! pansypoo53219 Jun 2020 #38

I agree, baby would work much better. Tipperary Jun 2020 #51

Unfortunately, probably not... Happy Hoosier Jun 2020 #92

'Baby' or 'brat' would work fine (nt) muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #56

I think this is a really "good" ad. Captain Stern Jun 2020 #43

You know what's funny? That is a really well put together video, 1:35 long, and some are dwelling.. George II Jun 2020 #57

Not funny-- it happens all too often around here. TreasonousBastard Jun 2020 #80

There's a title and a still picture in the OP that are exclusively about calling him a "bitch" muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #88

Over the years that word (I never use it online or in real life) has become gender neutral... George II Jun 2020 #90

It's "gender neutral" in application, but the reason it's held to be insulting muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #93

++++++++ MrsCoffee Jun 2020 #98

The OED lists "whiney" as an alternative spelling to "whiny", lapucelle Jun 2020 #105

Think of what might have happened if the ad hadn't used that word! WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #104

This thread wouldn't have 100+ replies... and almost 60 DU-Recs? NurseJackie Jun 2020 #115

No such thing as bad publicity, I guess. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #117

I will never understand why people who think using misogynistic slurs to attack a truly WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #99

Stand by. NurseJackie Jun 2020 #116

For....? WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2020 #118

An opportunity to adjust your expectations and understanding? NurseJackie Jun 2020 #119
