      Jeet Heer has mastered the art of confidently using pretentious words he doesn't understand, knowing that most people will be too intimidated to challenge him and risk looking stupid. But some of us know what gestalt means, and that ain't it.

      It's very normal and not at all a pretentious torture of language to say "Clintonian-Obamamite gestalt" when you mean "the democratic party"pic.twitter.com/pPdmrs0pKm

      Lots of Democrats are outside the Clinton-Obama worldview.

      Which is why "gestalt" is more than the some of its parts, aka, a political party. You're proving you actually don't know what the words mean

      Your assumption is that gestalt means the same as political party & that the Clintonian-Obamanite gestalt is coterminous with the Democratic Party. Both assumptions are false. .

      Replying to @HeerJeet @agraybee

      My point is that your usage of gestalt here is functionally indistinguishable from political party and it’s silly to insist it means something else without elaborating

      Nope. If I wrote "Democratic Party" I would be making a point that is the opposite of what I believe. I don't think Clinton/Obama people are the whole of the Democratic party. I like expressing what I think is true, not what you think is true.

      So your point is that Clinton-Obama people aren’t the whole Democratic Party, but got the support of the party anyway? And it takes like 9 tweets to explain this because your use of language was so clear and good

      I needed 9 tweets because you are being willfully obtuse about not understanding the meaning of fairly common words.

          It is not hard to understand what the tweet means but if I didn't like what it said I would argue that your language is used incorrectly as my fragile sense of self cannot process cognitive dissonance and my being would be rendered meaningless and annihilated if it was true.

          Imagine thinking that Jeet Heer is capable of this and not just a comic book critic with no specialist insight on any political topic.

          It's a writer's job to effectively communicate. If people don't understand you, that's your fault.

          Maybe the problem is that as a Canadian living in Canada who doesn’t have a degree or background in politics and who writes about comic books, Jeet feels unqualified to write plainly.
