Or at dem leadership level? Less likely. But saying elected dems never use this language is an opinion with very shoddy support. It can and does happen.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
I bet you can find examples of this kind of language among state and local elected officials in very liberal areas. Probably see it used with some national dems again from very liberal districts (Cori bush saying birthing people has already been cited in your responses) but at senate level ?
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly of the terms on that list food insecurity bugs me the least but I get the point. I do think changing terms like that sanitizes issues, making them more clinical and less human. Makes it harder for ppl to connect with issues and then gets used as a purity test among certain people

I'm sorry you had bad experiences with some members and family, but you can't pin their interpretation of the temple covenants or even what certain church leaders have said in the past about what those covenants mean on people and say they are oath breakers
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
I disagree, there is nothing explicit in the LDS temple covenants that requires members to turn against others at the drop of the hat. It is all about how it is framed. So to say someone who is liberal is "untrustworthy" because they made Temple covenants is just a bad-faith argument.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
Why should he avoid speaking a confident generalization when it is well known enough that you knew to comment that he shouldn't expect anything different?

Who is "we"?

You can also post that observation and find people happy to prove your point in the comments yet again. I think (hope?) it represents a minority of entirely too online, very bitter and angry people.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
so he should expect something different? Or it is true but he's not allowed to use the comments disparaging his religion (and religion in general) as evidence to make an observation about bluesky user's attitudes unless he has a sufficient sample size and rigorous methodology?

Oh, well. You entirely prove the OP's point. And the meme would have made more sense if you had posted it on his second comment instead of on the first.

Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
I see people make comments like yours all the time. These comments always have the attitude of "I am happy that things are going to hell, because at least I get to be smug about how right I was" rather than, you know, trying to stop or change it
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
Your original comment makes it seem like you want them to vote the "right way" whatever you seem to think that is. And that it isn't your job to convince them. That's fine, but don't act surprised when people you could have persuaded don't come to your side.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
what? this comment makes no sense. I'm saying they *aren't* a monolith. You can't assume they think or act a certain way, especially when your understanding of their faith isn't based in reality.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
I wouldn't mock people if I want them to vote a certain way or if I thought they could help me achieve my political objectives. But that's only if I was interested in winning.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
And to say "but don't mormons do x" is to treat them as a monolith. You're making a huge mistake deciding how a person will act, based on what you, a person who doesn't belong to their faith, think they believe or say or act because you heard they did that one time on the internet.
Mr. Dr. Prof. Patrick (@mr-dr-prof-patrick.bsky.social) reply parent
I guess if your goal isn't to convince people to come to your side and vote your way, then it isn't your work to do. If you have an interest in getting people to vote your way and changing minds, then yes, probably a good idea not to mock people's sincerely held beliefs.

Late night insomnia (thanks EM) question: Have you ever dilated eyes in the ED and if so when? Found an interesting article arguing we can and should dilate eyes in the ED for fundoscopy particularly in the case of painless monocular vision loss. Valuable clinical skill or time waster?

Never underestimate the power of a good fundoscopic exam! (ideally with panoptic bc regular ophthalmoloscopes are useless without dilation)
