        And it still doesn’t. Not everyone has to fake an orgasm over every incrementalist baby step just because you want them to.

          Your comment is what sucks: I’m asking “Why does everyone treat a base hit, the same as a game losing strikeout?” You’re accusing me of saying “Why aren’t you assholes celebrating this base hit like a grand slam?!” Please take a second to think about this without taking it personally. If the analogy is off let me know how so and I’ll try again.

            Ok. If you wanna do baseball analogies, let’s. Democrats have a tendency to hit the showers without finishing the game as soon as they hit a single. No amount of rejoicing over the single is gonna get them to the world series.

              Hahahaahahha well done. I’m tearing up laughing at how real that is. Once more, I don’t disagree with you. Doesn’t change the fact Lemmy has a shitty attitude and no joy. I have gratitude for this order by Biden. None of the dialogue on this post and this action, is about the legitimate positive impact of the change in policy stance.

                Personally, I think people who generalize and complain about Lemmy or Reddit as if they’re some sort of monoliths or “hiveminds” are the ones with the shitty attitude.

                  That was one of the first books I ever owned. Major lasting impression for some reason.

                  Are you old enough to remember Billy Crystal talking about baseball stats on a horse, in theaters?

      I don’t think you can blame people for being sick of the negativity. It’s everywhere these days. You can’t get away from it. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this smallish move on Biden’s part would be greeted with indifference rather than outright boos, but no, nothing is ever good enough, this is the world we live in.
