Of course I have confidence because I take emotions out of it. Democrats are a better alternative to Trump and Republicans, but if you make excuses for your party all the time cause you’re so emotionally invested then you completely lose touch with the reality of what a lot of voters care about, which is honesty & values. Democrats can’t win against Trump saying how terrible he is by acting more like Trump.
I would argue that overconfidence specifically results from being overly emotional and not knowing how to deal with it.
I’ve been saying Biden will drop out for weeks because his debate performance was an eye-opening experience about how much his campaign had been lying and propping him up, and all the polls showed it. Within the first day or two he should have went on multiple live press interviews if he still had his wits about him. He couldn’t do it. He ran and hid and then did select interviews where his team even provided the questions for the radio hosts to ask, and he still struggled.
I was called a Trump supporter, a fascist, and even banned from at least one community here on Lemmy. I was consistently downvoted for even expressing any negative opinion about Biden. The behavior was more like I was being attacked by a cult of followers, similar to what was being said about Trump supporters.
Biden dropped out. I was right and they were wrong. I wasn’t in the cult. So, if you want to be or stay in a cult, then go right ahead. I’m not going to stop you.
You’re delusional. I’ve seen not one person destroyed by him dropping out. That would be cult behavior. Everyone seems to have accepted it even if they initially didn’t think he should drop.
And it’s kinda funny your argument here is you were “right” once so from now on you will be.
