Vance wants voters to ‘give us another chance’. But he is cornered | Sidney Blumenthal
“Give us another chance, or give us another couple of years, to continue to work on the amazing things that we’ve been doing for the past two years.” He turned the focus to harm reduction rather than total agreement and then shifted the equation to a negative binary choice. “Even if you don’t agree with us on every issue, the other party is consumed by craziness.”His proposal for a “another chance,” however, did not acknowledge harm, express remorse or offer any pledge to change. Skipping the apology avoided admitting error, wrongdoing or enlightenment.
