I'm talking about the social justice warriors who make up a disproportionate slice of tech community liberals. They're the loudest, their message is what gets through, especially when you've got people like Hannity and Limbaugh to help spread and 'interpret' their message[1]. Not about the broader democratic party, which very much includes me and many others who get annoyed as hell by the divisiveness of the above group. And I'm certainly not talking about the platform. If people voted based on that instead of media soundbites, we'd have a different country. [1]: If you're a democrat, and you find that Hannity and Limbaugh are excited to quote you, please shut the fuck up immediately until you understand why they love you so much.

  And yet it does get said. And all sorts of people who would agree with the above-linked democratic platform voted against it. Maybe there's a messaging problem, and maybe the people I'm grossly offending in this thread are part of it. If they can't handle liberal techie me without being triggered, how could they possibly converse with Joe Sixpack?

    "triggered". Really though? The only people that ever use "triggered" and "social justice warriors" non-ironically are trolls and people with despicable enough views that we don't bother talking about or engaging with them. The fact that you're trying to act like there are a group of Democrats that actively, universally hate white people and proudly call themselves "sjw" is destroying any remaining credibility you have. It's also just painfully embarrassing to watch happen.

      You gotta update your lexicon bro. There's a new generation and they even say micro aggression. These people exist and they are huge in silicon valley. God bless ya if you haven't encountered them.
