We need a term for when you think you’ve gained something or owned someone, through either snark or contempt or sarcasm, but have gained nothing or even lost materially.
I’m actually referring to Democrats and their constant insistence that by getting in a good verbal jab, or some other performative display of resistance, that they’ve “done” anything.
These debate moments and the media reaction to them is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. Performative resistance is all we get from Democrats while they cede materially on all fronts.
