Well done.[/quote]

+1. If you vote in favor of government forcing women to be incubators for unwanted and non-viable children and the country being awash in guns so that our kids get gunned down in school at stratospherically higher rates than in virtually every other country, then you do support those policies. Your *feelings* about them are irrelevant. You have *acted* in favor of them. [/quote]

I am done talking.  If you want to prevail then you have to LISTEN.  It’s communications 101. And not just to your echo chamber.

And you cannot shame people into agreeing with you. Also communications 101.

Extremists on either side control the narrative but we in the middle control who is in charge.  Let that sink in.  And step off your self-righteous pedestal and acknowledge our power.  And what you have to do to earn our support. Ranting does not help.[/quote]

What makes you think you are "in the middle"?  Simply believing that you are?  Extremists typically don't regard themselves as such. [/quote]

Because I exercise a considered choice election. I don’t just bleat in unison with rest of the flock. [/quote]

Why do you believe it is others' responsibility to listen but not yours? You are not remotely "in the middle" based on your statements here, you are not interested in having a conversation about policy, and you are not open to others' viewpoints - you simply want to view yourself as a victim of whatever issue de jour you've decided represents Democrats wronging you. [/quote]

I don’t see myself as a victim at all.  No idea why you see it that way. [b] [u]I felt wronged and I exercised my vote as a consequence.[/u] [/b]There are no victims in a functioning democracy.  Trump should accept it when the voters have spoken. So should you.  Instead of castigating those that voted for Youngkin, focus your energies on getting the independents back in the tent. This thread is proof that you are not there yet. And perhaps never will be. [/quote]

Far more Americans vote for Democrats than Republicans. This means that Democrats do represent the center. Again, your feelings about this are irrelevant. Facts are facts. [/quote]

I don’t care about the relevance of my feelings. My vote is relevant and it was relevant in the last election.

“Facts are facts” - care to cite a source for “ This means that Democrats do represent the center.”?

DP. Your feelings sure seem relevant if you are voting out of spite.

She never said she voted out of spite.[/quote]

[b]"I felt wronged and I exercised my vote as a consequence."[/b][/quote]

I don't read that as spite. I read that as aligning with someone who was putting higher weight on priorities she puts higher weight on. Her weights or what they average out to don't have to match your weights for it not to be spite.[/quote]

No, PP said how she [u]felt[/u] and her [u]feelings[/u] were why she inflicted [u]consequences[/u]. That is spite.

[/quote]

As I am the poster quoted, I was not spiteful.  Spite, by definition, triggered by malice. My vote was considered, judicious and deserving towards my goal.  Now my goal may be spiteful to you but that is your issue.  I am a he, btw and that may help you box me in your stereotype.  [/quote]

If your vote was a “consequence” for “feeling wronged”, as you stated, that is spite. No matter how you want to spin it.
