      are you bitching about democrats four years in the future, or are you just avoiding the answer?

        Neither. I’m asking a very specific clarifying question. I’m not avoiding anything. You’re the one taking umbrage at an earnest question, which I posed to avoid talking about something you didn’t ask.

        You said:

        What do you suggest they do?

        I said:

        For next time (if there is one) or before the transition?

        To which timeframe are you referring?

              because you presented silly dichotomy in order to avoid answering my question.

                Bruh, are you seriously getting bent out of shape because I asked a clarifying question?

                If you ask, “Which ice cream do you want?” and someone replies, “Which ice cream flavors are there?”, do you also get upset and accuse them of avoiding the question? Because that’s the same sort of scenario over which you’re casting aspersions.

                If you say, “What do you propose they do?” it matters whether you are asking, “What do you propose they do in the current time up to Jan 20, 2025,” versus, “What do you propose they do in 2026/2028.”

                But since you’re being so combative over an earnest question, I don’t think you really care and are just claiming I’m not answering, because you don’t actually understand what I’m asking, don’t like my critique of the Democrats, and don’t want to actually engage in a real conversation.

                  you are seriously getting bent out of shape to avoid answering. this thread is full of answers that are not very smart, but their edgy teenage authors all understood the question. if you don’t understand the question even after getting multiple hints, you don’t really look as smug as you think.

                    I wasn’t talking to them. I was talking to you, and I even further clarified my question; you still haven’t told me which question you were referring to, either.

                    Which leads me to believe you aren’t here to have a conversation, you’re here, because you think your quippy question was some kind of dunk, and you erroneously believe it’s self-evident what you meant.

                    So congratulations. You had two choices, and you chose to sniff your own farts instead of presume I was asking in good faith.
