do i intensely frustrate some of you regularly I wonder. like, you think I've come around on some thing I'd disagreed with and then I post something making it clear I haven't?

Must frustrating habit is posting about a disastrous baserunning error in a Yankees game that I’m intentionally not watching.
lmao
i don't really think so, i mostly think whatever we disagree over is well reasoned or at least in good faith you have a different perspective to me that i find valuable and unlike a lot of other people you're actually smart
i've always occupied this awkward spot between low-trust leftist and high-trust partisan that makes people on both sides mad at me. it's gotten me 8000 followers here, more than I ever had on twitter, but I wonder what it looks like
That's around the sweet spot for at least a few of those 8k i imagine.
wait a fucking minute EIGHT THOUSAND?
my followed/followed ratio is extremely Problematic lol
honestly i gave up on that ages ago, i follow people that seem real and interesting and don't follow the hordes of Rachel Maddow resist lib accounts or whatever other borderline NPC types
oh I know I'm just incredibly picky because my default way of using this site is the 'mutuals' list
ah interesting, mine is 'following'. or sometimes 'OnlyPosts', but frankly i forget that feeds outside the main one like 97% of the time i never EVER use discover or whatever the algorithmic one is called
I like your unique melange of takes 😜
i was on a dsa call last week and mentioned my handle and someone was like 'no way I love your posts' and it was weirdly baffling to me
i think if this happened to me i'd 1) have a mental breakdown and 2) ask "oh my god WHY?"
I also have an opinion set that makes most people mad for not following the accepted battle lines, so I respect it
Is it possible to be a low trust partisan? Is that me?
i always appreciate your thoughtfulness even if i feel differently occasionally. i appreciate people who put effort into interpreting nuance in leftist spaces
good on Palestine and good on trans rights are essentially the only battle lines I care about anymore in terms of who I follow. I can assume anyone who passes those two checks are good faith actors even when I disagree
Strong is the unreason!
