Tell me more about my “faults” and “condescension” and “ad hominem”, then reread your comments. Yep, there’s some condescension from me here, but you’re also once again trying to throw judgement. “Glass houses” and all.
You’re assuming it was backtracking rather than a simple clarification.
That’s unnecessarily unpleasant, and it’s cool you want to feel like you won the argument, but if you add in the context of “new years eve” and then read it as “some other event external to the reason you want to make a change” it’s not backtracking.
In fact it’s just context you missed because of your own life experiences and emotions.
Which is cool, but you look like an ass when you try and secure a win by pointing out your own misunderstanding rather than hearing my clarification.
“The day my niece was born” is actually exactly the type of thing I’m talking about. You didn’t wait until new years, or your birthday, or something else unrelated to your motivations. You picked “now” because that was when you felt the desire.
So yes, special days can matter, but the days that matter to YOU are way more important than a day some guy named “Gregorian” chose 2000 years ago.
This is what the left is spectacularly good and bad at.
They sell you an image of perfection because that’s what people want to see.
Except it isn’t real, it never is. They sell you everybody as if they’re all sanders.
And then the rug pull. Happens almost every fucking time.
They’re either beholden to billionaires interests, or worse.
You can tell the few that REALLY are good people. The whole party rallies together to stop them. AOC’s recent failed appointment, sanders and Hillary’s backhanded deal to keep him out.
There’s no winning here, the psychopaths have won.
Often they’re in weird places in the bios…
