    None of this changes the fact that if you wanted a better candidate you should have campaigned them a year ago, not now.

    When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago, when is the next best time? Now.

      Lmao “it’s too late now, why are you even trying?”. Your quote at the end literally contradicts yourself, by the way. The point of the quote is that yes, it should have been done then, but it’s now and now is better than later. And of course later you’ll have another handy excuse for why it’s too hard, right?

      None of this changes the fact that you’re advocating the easy answers instead of the right answer and even you know it. But just like the boomers before who only looked out for themselves and what was easiest, so too will these next generations. And round and round we go.

        Now is not better than later. Just like how you should plant a tree in the spring. If you plant too early in winter, it will die.

        Just doing what you want, without considering the consequences is selfish and dumb.
