With Shatner, where the guy starts talking like Capt. Kirk while setting up vacation plans online, and they're sorta completing each other's sentences, or stepping on them? And the guy's wife comes in and she's all 'why are you talking like that?' and the guys all, "I'm (ala Kirk accent) talking..." and Shatner concludes,
"The language of the deal"
So much time was wasted going in bickering here and I presume elsewhere over whether 'centrists' even belonged in the Dem Party for their collusive ways & means however perceived - while 'the language of the deal', the politics of the deal seems now little researched and so less understood by the way people were taken so off guard. Many thought it would be like walking up to a light switch and flipping it: Voila! And while that appeals to me, others at the table (crazy shits that they were and remain) had other schemes and plans
Whole chunks of HCR, imo, were frittered away or fell back into the sand they were built on when we were seen as remiss in support each other - 'the other' registered our non-support of each other (not really) as *disadvantage us*, so they kept on rolling and by their actions suggest that - we are the sand - our agenda is built upon cause those fuckers are as tough as coffin nails and there's more truth to that than poetry
Whoever goes in to negotiate next time, assuming there is one; needs to be able to read tiny little patterns very very quickly and reply most timely, but then convey & carry points of Progressive concern from the front to the back with the point spread in mind, and...
Become conversationally fluent in 'the language of the deal' I'm just say'n :)
