      I don’t feel like digging through my own comment history for examples, but I can assure you I made MANY such comments, and I was not alone in making them.

        I don’t think I made such comments but I sure as hell voted that way.

        It’s good to be proven wrong when the outcome is this positive.

          Hopefully you can take a second, if not a couple hours, to reflect on what you can learn about the experience. A lot of other people didn’t make the same mistake, for lack of a better word, and were communicating their ideas the whole time.

          For example, I try to pay attention to which pundits or networks are wrong and then never fully trust them again, or at least treat them with a high amount of skepticism. In contrast, people that are right on big, important issues I try to pay more attention to

          Edit: I think I should’ve said we, as I’m absolutely doing this myself

          I personally didn’t think it was a great idea to attack him a la Bernie v Hilary, since we have to ultimately vote for him, which is where I think most of his defense comes from, but I also didn’t agree with denying reality and pretending we were going to win by just ignoring reality harder than the other side.

          I mainly want to try and understand why I was hesitant at all and not fully onboard with the brave people that convinced enough people in power to force him to step down. It at least makes me wonder what else I’m believing that isn’t true

            Dude, I already said I made a mistake. No need to take the chance to act like a fucking smug cunt.

              My bad, I wasn’t trying to offend you! lol That was sincere

              Admitting you made a mistake doesn’t have to be the last step. It can be the first! Asking questions can be step 2. Experimenting can be step 3. Idk…

              Anyway, it was just a suggestion. You absolutely do not have to reflect on anything if you don’t feel comfortable or it’s too stressful or whatever

                Listen. You clearly have the need to prove yourself. But you have to understand, I am not your dad. Call him and tell what a pretty little princess you have been. Just don’t bother me. You sound so sad it spoils my mood.

                You’re acting like you had superior information about the system.

                Biden had every detail lined up at the time these conversations were rolling.

                He was the clear and away presumptive nominee.

                If Biden was still in right now you’d be the one “reflecting” based on you’re advice, and that makes no sense to tell someone about something they can’t control.

                  I respectfully disagree. Y’all are clearly very defensive about this and that’s not going to result in a fruitful discussion, so carry on and don’t even think about reflecting on your sources

    Go fuck yourself. You act like you knew this was gunna be the case all along. Most of us were fighting the “let’s just have a vote at the DNC” people. And that’s not how it went.

    We didn’t want chaos. Choas is far from what we got.

    Get off your high horse there, mate.

      Since 2016, actually.

      In fact, the only thing that surprised me was that Biden actually dropped out. Never would have thought Pelosi would have been able to convince him.

      Go fuck yourself.

      Right back at ya, bub~
