minus-squareBadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 days agoNot to demean addicts, but is this saying that addicts are much better people than RFK BECAUSE they can get clean and learn from their mistakes
minus-squareRedditAdminsSuckIt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 days agoYeah I mean I get what they are trying to say. They don’t want to be lumped by that association. They don’t want that commonality I guess. For instance I’m a recovering alcoholic. I’ll always be an alcoholic, I just don’t adhere to those thoughts. It’d be weird of me to get upset if they started calling trump an alcoholic. It doesn’t change my situation and I can still choose to not drink. Calling someone else an alcoholic doesn’t make the world think of me I can’t say I agree with their stance.
