If only those people had left the first time…

Glad to hear you're planning on sticking around. We need folks like you here.

BTW only one side has EVER put up a fuss when they lost the election, to the tune of inciting a riot and multiple criminal attempts to overturn the election. (Have you read the recently released court filing from Jack Smith, it's on my 'To Read' list right now.)

I will be sticking right with you. As we got to retirement age, my husband and I (not for any political purpose) were discussing living abroad. After quite a lot of research, we decided it suits us much better to live in the US and travel to visit other places. We don't want to drop in on an entirely different society and try to figure it out. Living somewhere is completely different from visiting.

As far as the "super stars" who declare they are leaving every time someone they hate is elected... I've noticed not a single one has left... or there may be one or two, but the rest never seem to just stop yapping at the camera and leave already. I don't understand this. They have lots of money, could live wherever they want. But they never just go away, all they do is rant. It's weird.

Now I don't care who you are, your like of Diana's comment is funny. So funny I liked it too. Pro Tip: If you would like to portray yourself as a pro-America independent you might want to actually consider and reflect on what the "Preach it sister!" comment is plainly saying. It isn't the compliment you take it for.

Lee, I freely admit I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. Since you appear to be sharper, please enlighten me as to what is meant by "Preach it, sister."

See, it has been my not-the-sharpest-tool-in-the-shed belief, that one uses that phrase to show agreement, much like "Amen!" or "You tell, 'em," or "Yeah, verily," if you're into the whole King James thing. A verbal high five, if you will.

But since I am not "actually considering and reflecting on what the comment is plainly saying," you know, because of the lack of sharpness in this shed, you'll have to tell me.

Please edit your posting to eliminate your self-sabotaging: (1) triplicate characterization of yourself as some sort of dull tool and (2) gratuitous offering of quadruplicate alternative meanings of the sentence "Preach it, sister." hysterics.

Thank you for instructing me on how I should write, Lee.

But back to the question at hand...how is it "not the compliment I take it for?"

Independents don't preach it, sister. It is satire.

Except, the comment is not satirical. I am well versed with satire.

See, if the response had been, "Oh, I agree. Why would anyone leave when they can stay and watch the chaos unfold firsthand? It's like getting a front-row seat to a slow-motion train wreck—who'd want to miss that kind of entertainment?" I would agree with your observation.

But that's not what's happening here.

The message of the article resonated with the commenter, prompting her reply of agreement.

Remind us again. Is this the part where you declare you are not the sharpest tool in the shed three times over or the part where you make claim to the opposite? It seems you don't know whether you are coming or going.

“Independents don’t preach it, sister”?

Please explain.
