Sounds like gaslighting to me. He was very reluctant.

Everybody in his shoes would be at least reluctant. Specially in Biden’s case who is known to overthink big decisions. What matters is that he made the right decision in the end.

“I may have been [late], but I’m not wrong”


btw I’m kidding, I’m on the fence about how to feel - you make a good point

Perfect and good? Sworn enemies I always say

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh dear... I don't like the implications that Trump is perfect...

;-)

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Trump? Wtf.

Perfect in this case obviously was if Biden dropped out at the exact right moment, good being he dropped out in time for a recovery which he did

I just meant, since Trump isn't good, does that imply he's perfect? Them being sworn enemies and all, according to the commenter.

Worrying, that...

Do you not understand sarcasm? That is a saying that I was repurposing for sarcasm. "Don't make perfect the enemy of good"

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh no, I had no idea of sarcasm! Is that a thing people do on the internet?! It was completely invisible to me in your comment, and mine certainly would never contain a shred of complimentary sarcasm.

Okay, just to clear things up. I don't think Trump is perfect, not at all, I was just playing with words in 'logical' sequence from your comment. Apologies for the confusion.

What’s the gaslight? What purpose would it serve to manipulate the populace into believing the narrative that he had good “feefees”?

You’re just spewing your favourite little reddit word. You’d get a gold star if you use it right! Too bad you’re too much of a froggie to do that. Sad. Womp.
