Good on Rossmann for calling out bullshit on his own side. Legitimate issues often get hijacked by do-nothing whiners, yet all too often they get ignored or even encouraged for the sake of prioritizing short term political gain.
- sokoloff 4y agoAgree. I think politics overall would be aided if more people called out bullshit from their own side. It’s easy to see when some “other side” spouts BS, but often harder to see and/or have the courage when it’s someone who is mostly pulling in a direction you want to go, but has an idiotic idea or is spouting bullshit. When that step is skipped, weak or outright incorrect thoughts, ideas, and plans are allowed to propagate and become part of the movement, either in fact or via association. When you take that step, you might offend someone whose idea was on the weak-to-bullshit spectrum, but you also hone your group’s ideas and help align the broad group of people who previously never had an opinion but are willing to get behind strong, sensible ideas.
