So are we in agreement there are no parallels? There is no mom? Nobody is picking out cereal for me? You just gave an example of a tantrum and called it an analogy?
Honestly, my friend, you're reading way too much into it. I expect in a desire to claw back some semblence of a win in order to salve your bruised ego, but hey - I'm not a psychologist. It was a really simple analogy. You're just being pedantic at this point. You don't need to find an exact parallel between every facet of the analogy and your situation for it to make sense.
Buddy, you're here lecturing me that I'm a child and you don't know the difference between an example and an analogy. Or worse it actually is an analogy because you believe that there is a "mom" in this situation and I should shut up and do what I'm told. You're not angry at me for acting like a child. Quite the opposite, you're angry at me for not acting like a child.
My vote is mine and you cannot have it for free. You want it? Work with Biden and get him to make material compromises with leftists and progressives. Anything else is you throwing a tantrum.
I think it's kind of hilarious that you're arguing so angrily and vehemently that you are not throwing a tantrum right now to some random stranger on the internet who called you childish. You're kind of making my day. <3
