So you're admitting that Biden won?
he must have had reasons.
i can understand why someone didn’t vote Hilary.
what I can’t understand is someone not accepting they made a mistake.
splints didn’t vote trump a second time.
like millions of others.
i tell you this. The hardest thing a human can do is accept they were wrong. When you meet someone who can do this you have met someone very special.

Great book, but the unannotated version is better
Why hasn't Senator Harris given up her seat?
Forgot about that. Weird flex.

When we met up in Miami Beach 2 years ago, I harangued the shit out of him over this until he swore to me that he would vote for Biden in 2020.

Why do you answer questions with questions?

I was wrong about Trump.
There have been some good things coming out his presidency but they have mostly been in spite of him, and he has failed at many of his core goals and messages.
In other areas like TPP, Trump is wrong but I didn't realize at the time and I was wrong on it too. I believe that Yang has the answer for TPP and other industrial globalization issues.

He told me you shot a sloppy double and he stuffed your head in the sand
Why not? Answer mine and I'll answer yours...
Why did you just have to use that phrase and force half the forum to look up it's meaning?

No flex. It's a pretty good example of poor leadership on my part in which I was half in and half out trying to keep everybody happy and instead pissing everybody off.

I mean to say it's a weird flex to announce your intention to quit a free discussion forum because you may not get your way.

It's effective if the admin is trying to run a blind democracy. If you're the one providing much of the content and are an influencer of sorts, and I tell you that I'm just here for whatever the crowd wants, you have an outsized voice over everyone else even though you're one person. This was a type of mistake we've been making for many years early on.
It leaves a majority of the posters that might not be as active without their voices being heard. And 90% of the users are lurkers, 10% are posters and only about 1% are new thread makers.
So polling a blind democracy by voice results in tyranny of the minority against the silent majority.
As an admin this is very difficult because it feels good when you have users ask for something and you give it to them and then they're happy. That's a good feedback loop for person. You feel accomplished like a good admin. But like this example it can misconstrue what a majority of the users actually want.
And in many cases users don't care that much and what they really hate is change. So if you're split 50/50 you don't change.
I personally love the idea of a news and politics subforum... The form equivalent of a 24-hour news channel that you're not really supposed to watch all the time but you flip to when you need to get it and get away from it when you need your sanity.
The tags could be specific so it would be easier to find election news or whatever.
ive always said that this century is about unbuckling capitalism.

Well, no, because I asked you first, dork.
Are you short on cash? Is that the problem?
Because you'll still need to pay me. Don't make bets you can't afford to lose.
I hope your my secret Santa you rich bastard.
Lucifer Kirik Jenness erupted in a fit of manic rage when I stopped a troll in his tracks with The Post and he fired me.
