I have seen it among coworkers, friends, relatives and now among political parties ...

[srican69]

people who complain, throw tantrums etc are treated by everyone around with kid gloves .. no one wants to deal with the aftermath of setting them off ...

what happens in the end? - everyone tip toes around them and give their needs more importance at the expense of normal folks ...

Maybe the Democrats should start throwing temper tantrums too ...

2. The squeaky wheel does get the grease.

Nobody likes them, but they get their way.

Unfortunately, there are few Democrats like that. The only one I can think of is Alan Grayson.

Elizabeth Warren is good, but she's no squeaky wheel. Neither is Bernie Sanders, but he's not a Democrat anyway.

3. That's why I gave up kid gloves long ago. It doesn't progress anything. When there is a boil that

needs to burst because it causes pain, I have a handy pin. People usually know exactly where I stand. Particularly bigots and the politically ignorant. That sometimes means they must use kid gloves and walk on egg shells around me. But I make it well know that a discussion without name calling with bigotry, racism and Tea Bagging B.S. is left out of the conversation we will get along just fine.

4. Control freaks...

do this, also domestic abusers...it doesn't pay to give in to them because their demands and attempts to control and bully never end. Walk away...I refuse to be captive to this kind of behavior from anyone.
