    They’re the reddit users that think reddit 2024 is too left wing.

    They’re the reddit users that believe the only thing wrong with reddit is too many ads.

    They’re the reddit users that think voting is an effective measure in a captured kakistocracy.

    They’re the reddit users that believe Biden is most left wing president in US history.

    In short, yes.

    You use singular they every single day or at most every single week and you have for your entire life and so did all of your English speaking ancestors including middle English.

    'how far out is the pizza guy’s ‘they’re 15 minutes out’

    ‘my coworker was a pain in the ass today’ ‘what they’d do this time?’

    ‘i think my doctor is famous’ ‘oh what’s their name?’

    They was singular before it was plural, and it’s singular use is still one of the most common pronouns in English.
