Their data is adjusted for family size. Family size has been consistently shrinking since the 1960s, which, if you adjust their graph, will lead to overall decrease in wages throughout time. It is a meaningless method of transformation to get data that supports a false narrative.
Why did you not point out that their data is transformed when I did?
Is it actually incorrect? I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong, but it just sounds bizarre or Shakespearean if you use it when it’s not an auxiliary verb.
“I’ve no need for that.” is a perfectly cromulent sentence.
There’s more than two choices the same way there’s more than two choices for calling a coin. You can call a side. You can call for the edges. You can call that it balances diagonally. You can even call for a unicorn to magically appear over one of the sides. The chances are so slim that you might as well have chosen no side at all, but it could happen, and it is a choice.
Personally, anyone that says there are more than two parties has no idea how statistics and/or voting works, or they don’t really care about the outcome.

It’s a 10 day old account, they are 100% a bad faith actor, and you know this because they don’t acknowledge any of the ways to push for better treatment of Palestinian civilians. They are using them as a prop to tell people to not vote for Joe Biden (which is its own brand of fucked up privileged), even though Joe Biden is pretty famous for being bullied into better positions. Voting against fascists is, indeed, the right move, and Joe Biden might be a centrist liberal, but he isn’t a fucking fascist.
Please list the descriptors that show Joe Biden is a fascist, because I’m looking at Umberto Eco’s and I see… maybe 1, if you reach a bit: “appeal to the middle class”
That’s not really a good answer though. Those are policies put in place long before Biden became president, but not only that, you haven’t proposed an alternative. Your current solution is “Don’t vote for Biden” but the outcome is that you either get Biden, a continuation of the status quo at worst, or you get Trump, a continuation of the status quo AT BEST. You can pretend you live in a world where you get a third party candidate, but you don’t.
Which leaves you in an unfortinate bind, since that makes you a fascist by your own definition. You are trying to push a solution that would make the situation at best the same, and at worst, much, much worse. As you said:
Any president not acting to dismantle that is fascist
I assume you would never take an action that would support a fascist. So, how can you argue that in a First-Past-The-Post voting system (and one that defaults to state legislatures if no majority is made), voting for a third party is a viable solution?
I think you can’t if you are against fascism. You can post links to antifascist movements, organizations, or steps to take, but the American election system is too fucked to argue against the two big parties unless you are ever the optimist, but I don’t think you are if you argue both parties are fascist.
Yeah, I suppose those would. I wouldn’t have thought it, but definitionally, it would be! I mean, heck, some of those are listed by Meriam-Webster! Isn’t language neat? You learn something new every day.

I think you mean “voted for”, he isn’t Congress, and therefore doesn’t pass bills, unless you suggest that only passed legislation makes someone one particular political wing, in which case, I’d argue that seems like a deeply flawed understanding of government.
Was it obvious? Because it seems “obvious” to me that you moved the goalposts. If someone points to a senator or representatives at the federal level, you’d point to the lack of left-wing legislation they passed. That’s goalpost moving. Would you like me to point at non-federal positions so you can say they aren’t meaningful in spite of their passing of left-wing policies that affect my state or city? Also, I’ll give you a hint, all of those politicians are NOT one of the two major parties.
The point is that one party is definitely different from the other, especially if you’re queer, pregnant, able to become pregnant, a child, elderly, working, or a racial minority.
There are plenty of right-wing governments that are staunchly anti-queer, and the reason would be that queer would fall under non-traditional (queer is literally synonymous with odd, weird, etc.)
Right-wing has several definitions, but using “individualism” would be incorrect for most of them. Right-wing would include heirarchical, traditional, militaristic, and/or authoritarian values. The only individuals that are respected in the political right are those at the top of heirarchies (e.g. authority figures like the military and police). What you espouse as individualism would likely be (little L) libertarianism, which is a classically left-wing philosophy.
I think you might be confused about your political left, as well.
