Edit: Holy shit, was curious about why Alred was getting singled out. Because he said he didn't support trans women playing sports with the other women? If that's the most anti trans Democrat candidate ever and your next move is "What else could she do, outlaw trans people?!?" you need to give your head a shake. No wonder we lose to a man who has more orange makeup than brains.
I mean, your comic made the same basic point that Oliver did. Which I already responded to. In depth.
You could, uhhh, look back at the Pew research I already shared.
I love your argument is simultaneously "we can win them over with enough messaging! The DNC didn't put enough into trans messaging to overcome propaganda! Also, those people we can win over are lost causes!" Pick a lane!
I guess that's the difference. I've met some of the people who will be affected by climate change and seen the communities that will be destroyed. They aren't abstract. It's very easy to figure winning these elections doesn't matter when you know damn well it really doesn't affect you. I just find that view reprehensible as I think it's throwing the most vulnerable people under the bus so you can feel good about being on the right side.
Life in large, pluralistic society is full of uncomfortable compromises. Most moral progress is made because enough people with old Conservative views have died and the median voter is ready to move forward, not because we screamed at people. (Though, frustratingly, the Left seems to have either lost the messaging game or taken such silly positions that we are no longer dominating the youth vote so we may have, through our evangelizing, set progress back much farther than needs be. How fucking annoying are we such that people would prefer trump to us?)
Are you sure you know what those terms mean? This seems like when you had no idea what Utilitarianism was.
Sea lioning doesn't just refer to disagreeing with someone, here's the original sea lion comic:

I'm hard pressed to see how, relatively politely, responding to the comments you keep leaving on my original response to someone else's question fits that at all.
As I hope you're true to your word and done with this, have a good weekend.
