2. Cliche' or definition?
Tue Jun 16, 2026, 12:12 AM
Yesterday

It is just a "shoot from the hip" definition. It was not meant to be, nor was it stated to be, an "operational" definition.
At least not the types that one would find in the DSM.... In context of that, insanity is a legal finding, not a Dx.
Maybe I could have called it a cliche', and have received a response to the content of the post, rather than the form.

Regardless, I guess I would take exception to the idea that running for an elected office, is the same as enacting failed policies,
which have proven themselves nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of far, right-wing, republicans.
It would seem a false equivalence, but then that is just me, and I am the one that used a cliche', and called it a definition.

However, I guess a little ambiguity, is one way for the post to stir the pot enough to get a reaction.
