What do you mean? Why?
The parent might be refering to the overfishing that happens in many parts of the world. That leads to destruction of the local ecosystem, and also the future livelihoods of the fishermen themselves. The US government already does something similar for corn. Farmers are paid to not plant it to control market price.

Never knew that. Wikipedia does confirm that Democratic Party members dislike the term. Still though, a slur? Sticks and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me. Grow up.
Come on dude, try to write things that might be believed. Limbaugh has been bragging for decades about inventing this clever phrase that annoys Democratics.

Words have meaning not captured in one line of a dictionary definition. If you're compiling a list of slurs, do "rude" and "Democrat" come to mind first? Or is it words that you might put asterisks in?
You're thinking of the more specific terms "racial slur" or "ethnic slur" and not the generic word "slur".

A title of “Admit it. The Republicans have broken politics” and being published by Vox fills me with confidence that this will be an unbiased report based solely in fact. Definitely. This is clearly an opinion and not news nor fact. The real fact is that Republicans are American, just like Democrats. We are all responsible for breaking our country. Every. Single. One. Of. Us.
Republicans and Democrats most of all. If voters would stop voting for them, we'd have better people in office.
Fix that and 3rd parties would bloom.
Any wishing for 3rd party+ saving the people without a change to the rules is fantasy.

> We are all responsible for breaking our country. Every. Single. One. Of. Us. That's not how it works. Unless all Americans are responsible for an American barn catching fire because the American owner tossed an American cigarette butt inside. No, politics get ruined by politicians. And politicians are put there by some of the people. Not all of the people. I know you'd like to lessen the burden on your shoulders an…
It would seem to me that you’re the one assigning blame away from yourself.
I blame all of us equally for allowing us to get to where we are today. I’m equally unimpressed with this administration as the last.
The patent system was broken from the start. The incentives are all wrong, as USPTO officers get paid more, the more patents they approve. It's like paying fishermen for the fish they didn't catch.
Assuming you're right, how would you fix the incentives?

So now any word that someone dislikes is a slur and must be banished from our vocabulary? We’re doomed.
Feel free to use "Democrat party" when your intention is to be insulting. When you aren't trying to be insulting, that phrase is poor communication.

I guess not. Use whatever words you like, just be aware of what they’ll convey.
