That is not what I said. My point was we can’t be defeatist about it. Our only choice is to push forward and work to improve and not accept defeat.

I think this was a case of two people on the same side with a couple of social media wires crossed. It happens.

I can’t answer for them, but I think tribalism and misinformation are huge problems.

My response was about the voices I hear and see myself along with and polling data.

Totally agree! Let’s fight the good fight and don’t assume the loudest voices are the majority.

My point is exactly that. Recognition is critical! No one should ignore anything. The only way is to push forward.

I feel like we’re talking past each other but we’re actually on the same page. I’ve said my piece on this though so have a good night and keep up the fight!

I hardly think explaining myself as lashing out, but like I said if you took my quote/reply as too strong, that wasn’t my intent. But yes, I do feel like I’ve been piled on a bit.

I just can’t watch all this awful news and also be defeatist about it. That’s was the take. That’s all.

My god. All I said was that I don’t think being defeatist was good. I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but I don’t think my one post about being defeatist is worthy of being all

Maybe I caught you in a middle of a deep thread and you weren’t in the mood for feedback. If so, my bad. Geez.

I’m sorry, but what conversation are you referring to?

I never said anything that disagrees with anything you just said, and I certainly was not the one saying that anyone point was invalid because of assumptions “bro”.

All I said was that being defeatist isn’t solving anything. That was all.

How is your social media more meaningful and less empty than mine? Give me a break. You’re the one saying the country is screwed.

Enjoy the view from your high horse and have a great night.
