    That poor oppressed multimillionaire.

      You are completely missing the point.

      To spell it out, these are silly assertions:

      Manchin’s leaving because moving to the right has failed.

      The rightmost Democrat can’t win

      God, life was easier when I was similarly ignorant of anything that didn’t support my beliefs. Buy honestly, complexity is interesting! It really is worth reading things with which you disagree, if only so you don’t sound like such a complete goof. Totally up to you and it is frustrating but being reasonably well informed is a depressing but good feeling.

        Do all centrists just think if they condescend hard enough, they’ll be right?

          If you want to be treated respectfully, make comments that are worthy of respect.

          Making snarky but silly comments ain’t a recipe for being treated as an equal.

          Edit: For example, deciding that I’m a centrist because I’ve pointed out your nonsense, well, it’s pretty childish. How on Earth do you expect not to be condescended to when you act like a child?

            You could have just said yes. The additional demonstration of the behavior I described was unnecessary.

              Instead of getting defensive or upset, maybe read what I wrote.

              If you think everyone who disagrees with you is a centrist and they’re all condescending, this probably says more about your behavior than anything else.

              If you meet an asshole, you met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole, it’s probably you.
