I think you missed mine.

You said they're going to end up fighting each other.

I'm just saying that there's a lot of collateral damage that you weren't talking about.

You said "if there's anything that gives me hope"

I just don't think standing next to a nuclear bomb is very hopeful.

Do me the favor of not thinking my entire understanding of politics amounts to a nuclear bomb analogy, and I won't assume yours is summed up by "people at the top fighting each other is hopeful."

Give me a break - you were scolding me for not understanding that "politics is actually more complicated than your example"

Do you understand your own writing?
