Dude you changed this it from "we want ice cream" to "we want to drive next to the cliff so we can drive off it later". That's not smaller than ideal, you literally changed it both sides the same, just later.
No, I changed it to "one side killing us, the other not, but still leaving it on the table" Which is a huge difference, but still a troubling scenario. Not driving off a cliff is orders of magnitude better than driving off a cliff, but still significantly worse than ice cream.
Dude one side wanted to get ice cream and you changed it to "nah, not that. I'm gonna change it to what the other side wants, just later. Change it to the complete opposite". You completely changed it. Changed everything. Smh. That you either don't want to see that or can't see that... I'm out.
Again, I didn't change it to "later" I changed it to "if the cliff drivers win the next vote, it'll be a short drive." Do you really think that's inaccurate? Look at how Trump drove the country into the ground in his first 4 years, and how easy it was to just keep doing it even after we had 4 years of democratic leadership that was meant to get things back on track. I don't call that "ice cream," I call that "sitting by the cliff waiting for the cliff drivers to be in power again." We need leadership that will drive away from the cliff even if it upsets the people and politicians that want to drive off it.
