I just love that dems literally can't help themselves but pre-compromise - and also ask for recognition and kudos before they actually do or accomplish anything. Imagine trying to claim you should get an A on a paper because you had an idea that was really good but didn't actually write it. Or when I'm at work, I can't imagine telling a parent that there sick kid will be better now because I imagined preparing their antibiotic even though I haven't spiked the bag or started an IV lol

Had an idea that was really good, and then not only didn't write the actual paper, but decided to think about writing a significantly worse version of the paper.

Also it's not even an original idea, some Prussian dude already wrote extensively about it in the 19th century.

Lol reminds me of the type of guys with very low self esteem who debases himself while telling a girl he likes her.

“You’re so pretty and I’m hideous and I know you would never like me, but I want to be with you.”

If a democrat found a genie lamp, he'd negotiate himself down to one wish and then vote for something he thinks a republican would want.

Looks like someone didn't hear the news. I'll have you know a 4th of July cookout was $0.16 cheaper in 2021

Precompromise is a great explanation of this behavior. Thank you.

It’s more like telling the teacher why A’s are desired by every student and what qualities deserve them.

Then asking her for a C for your paper.
