Let me state it as a parable: If the building was on fire and someone was blocking the fire exit, but I managed to escape by shattering a 2nd floor window, yes, I would be mad at the person blocking the exit.
And more so: This was, very much, a clear and present danger. As we are all experiencing now. None of what is happening now is a surprise. Yet those people still refused to help or lift a finger to prevent it.
There was a clear and present danger that everyone with two brain cells to rub together was trying to prevent, and these people were actively standing in the way.
People are dying, poor families with disabled children are losing healthcare, trans people are under federal attack, science and education is being gutted, and on and on
According to the people we're both salty at, that's apparently an acceptable price to pay to "teach the Dems a lesson". (That was one of the most common reasons they'd give last year, and yep, I'm still salty about that too).
We could have done that last November, but some people decided it was better to single-issue abstain / protest vote / spread FUD / otherwise get in the way. Yes, I'm still salty about that.
Tall, skinny phones and portrait-optimized apps. It's like your viewport is restricted to looking out of an arrow slit in an old-timey castle while also requiring a step ladder to reach anything at the top of the screen.
Aside from mentioning the reconciliation process (which I agree could have been included), that's not even close to actual journalism. It might fly on from one of the talking heads spewing endless opinions shows on cable, but reputable outlets do not "report" that way.
Quality outlets also do not (or should not, anyway) point blame in such a brazen manner. They should report the facts and list some potential effects of those, but they shouldn't tell you how to feel or sink into the petty bickering of the subject matter.
I'm old-school and grew up before the plague of 24-hour cable news and worked for two different newspapers, so I'm, I guess, a little more sensitive to the sensationalist crap that gets called "news" these days. I guess what I'm saying is that this article passes my "sniff test".
For example, when I'm dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I've found myself muttering "ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte".
That's not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn't showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.
