    You still haven’t answered my question.

    Are the results of a democratic victory as much speculation as the results of a Republican victory?

    The original comment was able to discuss the results of a democratic victory with laser precision, while it danced around the potential effects of a trump victory by calling it speculation. Again, see what I quoted.

    I’ve seen this disparity in foresight multiple times on Lemmy, and it’s frustrating when used to justify decision-making. It’s literally the sleeping Shaq meme.

    FWIW, OP and I are actually in agreement, both in that democratic victory outcomes are also speculation (and should’ve been worded as such) as well as the point being made.

      I don’t answer loaded questions. I’ve explained, he’s discussing possibilities to party structure, not to policy, you’re just trying to establish a false equivalence between them because it’s convenient for your “they’re only attacking the Dems!” narrative
