it kind of sucks that the world is in such a state that you can't even say "this guy is dying and i disagree with his politics but he did a good thing for the country (re: ACA) that most politicians in his position wouldn't have done" without ppl yelling at you.

It's kind of hard to applaud someone for cleaning up a mess on the floor when they were one of the people gleefully shitting all over it earlier.

what he did with ACA was straight up shocking, though. i think refusal to recognize when someone does something brave and good kinda discourages others from attempting the same. it doesn't negate their past actions, but it shouldn't be ignored.

It's not bravery though to engage in baseline human decency. That's the *expected* behavior. Bravery is going beyond that.

It's especially not bravery to fix a problem you had a hand in creating. Again, that's the *expected* behavior.

If everyone around you is terrible, and you are slightly less terrible, you are still terrible.

there is a difference between saying that someone isn't terrible and saying that they did a thing that was good. this is the point i was trying to make in my first tweet. it didn't used to be like this.

it's all so very extreme, now. it used to be you could acknowledge and even maybe give credit for a positive thing someone did without also talking about all the shitty things they did which is still really hard to fit into the current tweet character limit.

i hate this. i hate how it's impossible to acknowledge the good. it goes against who i am. it's one of the many reasons i hate this shitty platform. because twitter turns us into hyper-critical people and this is the new normal.

It's not "don't acknowledge the good," it's "take the good in context with the bad," and also a bit of "cleaning up your own mess isn't cause for celebration, it's expected"

it's not expected. that's a pipe dream. it's the desired behaviour that few other politicians engage in.

This sounds to me like a bar that just needs to get raised.
