"Hill to die on" has to be the among the most consistently annoying online cliches. You're alleged to be "dying on a hill" if you send 2 tweets about something. Most of these cliches indicate a fundamental incapacity for original thought by the user, but this one especially so

“Whataboutism” is one I really dislike because it’s frequently used to dismiss relevant arguments as magically not relevant. Very convenient way to ignore different dimensions to situations.

Also used to dismiss the context or the hypocrisy of an argument.

Michael: Please add to this list the slang use of the term "haters". An ugly swipe used to frame those with whom one disagrees. Disagreement on this or that does not equal "hate". The word has become bastardized. It, to me, is a new "four letter word" (not a good one).

"bad for our democracy" is my currently most-hated political cliche. People say it about EVERYTHING.
