I'll never forget how the media flew into a tizzy when Obama stated that Dems received a shellacking in the 2010 midterms. Don the Con lost in 2018 and claimed that he won. It's a serious problem when people never accept that we all make errors.
I remember tutorials with my students when I'd congratulate a student for raising a point I hadn't thought about - it was about succession planning. Some of them are as good as others told us we were and some are even better.
Humans can be so mean because of fragile egos or fear of being replaced by others.
I learn from DUers like you all the time.
