  • Pretty sure you passed it long ago. That's one way in which the US actually IS exceptional: it's managed to make itself the nation equivalent of "too big to fail".

    No matter how bad it gets, most of the world will continue to automatically side with the US bo matter what. Even if Trump wins and does everything we fear he might do and more, most of the world HAS to side with the US or face financial ruin.

    Hell, Trump could form an official alliance with Putin's Russia and start WW3 and The West would join on the side of fascism.

  • You catch more flies with honey than vinegar

    That's not always true. Like the literal case linked, politicians dragging their feet is one of the exceptions to the rule that positive reinforcement works better than loudly stating that you're not satisfied and why you're not satisfied.

    Or how about if I get your thoughts on how to rear a child

    Politicians aren't children and shouldn't be coddled as if they were.

    Encouragement, support, and excitement do more to inspire change than any amount of complaints.

    Again, politics is an exception. A politician who is informed of a problem or the inadequacy of their solutions will perform better than one who receives praise and adulation every time they affect a tiny fraction of the positive change within their power.

    Incrementalism is the only bloodless a truly feckless way to achieve true extremely limited progress

    Fixed that for you. Here's what Martin Luther King thought of your Incrementalism:

  • That's the problem with the GOP right now. They literally have no other platform except anti-Democrat.

    If only! How blinded by horse race politics do you have to be to look at a literal fascist party and think "the contrarianism is the problem" 🤦

  • Holy strawmen, Batman! You've assembled an entire hay loft of them there, gramps!

    At first I thought you were coming from a place of bias and baseless stereotyping but now I know for a fact that you are.

    Get out of the way and let people younger than your apparent 80 years express themselves how they want to.
