Spare us the theatrics. Every four years wherein the opposition is in office is a perceived "disaster" for the other side.

Here's a question for you and the Nation: did the other side also see the first four years as a disaster? Can you accurately describe why?

You complain about a lack of "rational actors", and yet your complaints aren't couched in rational language.

Your comment resembles a teenage outburst more than anything else.

Can the Nation advance via teenage-style emotional breakdowns, or will the teenagers have to "sit this one out" so that the noise can be turned down enough to progress to a better stage?

What I see is someone who isn't confident enough in the persuasion of their views to do anything but engage in an embarrassing tantrum and hyperbole that isn't designed to solve a single problem.

You say that "my head isn't in the game", and yet you proudly refuse to play on the board.

It's literally impossible to perceive your strategy. It isn't persuasion let alone compromise.

How do you intend to win?
