If by "If By Whiskey", you mean the worst of political equivocation, the vacillation that undermines the very meaning of conviction, the ambiguities that permit Motte-Bailey arguments and laws that are interpreted unfairly depending on who broke them… then: fuck👏that👏shit 2/4

But! If by "If By Whiskey", you mean the defiance of dualism, the capacity for nuance, the refusal to capitulate to simple narratives of good & evil… the importance of listening to all perspectives & steelmanning them… then, why, that is the very essence of dialogue!🤩💞🤯 3/4

This is my take—I will not back down; I will not compromise. 4/4
