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.
Democrats have a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot an then blame their voters. Biden, “you’re not black unless you vote for me.”
If you want to keep shooting yourself in the foot, be my guest. I’d rather talk about innovative ideas for improvement. That is how Democrats can get voters. I’ll speak my mind about things if I think you’re wrong, but I’m not always right either. I do admit when I was wrong about things.
