Oh that’s not a big deal so long as you refuse to look in the direction of the open bathroom door. Everyone knows that!

Well no…that would be weird.

You seem to think change happens in a vacuum and that at no stage has anyone attempted to stand in front of the things that have helped millions.

On one hand you have the Right who wish harm on an honestly cartoonish scale. Like, it’s difficult to fathom just how much suffering they want to cause others without somehow doing mental gymnastics to wrap your mind around it. They are the cartoon evil villains at the top, while towards the bottom are amongst the poorest, least educated, and angriest people. The vast majority of whom have been living under Republican leadership for generations.

On the other you have a flawed group composed of many different groups whose opinions largely intersect, though often with key differences. Some of them wish harm on others, that is inevitable, though by magnitudes less than the Right. Many of them just want life to be better, and the rest want life to be better for all, including those on the Right. The States traditionally under the Left’s leadership have higher quality of life in every measurable aspect, and greater access to institutions who can help them.

You talk about the smaller steps the Left takes while completely ignoring the small steps the Right has taken leading up to this. A gradual decline decades in the making. We CAN fix it, and we could use the help of those who want to be heard. All we ask is to help us win this election and then be the voices that help push that positive change after the election.

Sounds like someone got promoted to a high position. If I’m right it’s the typical “New Manager Must Make Waves To Prove They Belong” level of stupid unique to corporate.

I just want to point out that this is typical. Even when we’re blaming someone or something for all the bullshit we still can’t agree.

ADHD would like a word.

Just watch me insert caffeine straight into my veins and also take a nap within 10 minutes.

If it’s “more of the same” I’d like the sane ones to win. Y’know, just in case.

This is an actualized response. In the moment a lot of people can’t pull this off, it does take practice. You’re right, of course, this is better…I just wish people would more commonly be willing to ask a clarifying question or two before pulling out the butcher’s knife.

Some folks just aren’t good with their words and may otherwise be great people. In this situation, true or not, they were talking for some time. I think that level of interaction is worth some benefit of the doubt and the tiniest bit of patience. Instead, despite hitting it off and having a great conversation, shallow lady over there judges him by a single moment amongst probably a dozen leading up to it.

…but that is how it goes. That’s the game. It’s all just a bit silly though.

I’m fine with internal preselected individuals getting positions and promotions. What is universally disliked is us also getting interviews only to find out later they were a waste of time for this exact reason.

I’d post a summary, though with these it is often best to go a little more in-depth than some tldr on the subject. Long story short, Trump represents Narcissism and Histrionic, maybe BPD. I’ll be honest, I’ve kept my distance from watching him. Someone else with more screen time, or more knowledge, feel free to chime in with corrections.
