Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!
I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I'd barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.
I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.
Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we're going with xitter, then it's full of xits, right?).
The Democratic elites fucked it up and we're seeing them kowtow and shift the Overton window in real time. All to chase the people they've effectively denigrated for the entire election cycle.
The reality is that they'll never learn. This is a near perfect repeat of other Democrat losses to Republicans over the last 50 years. The knee-jerk reactions we're seeing (e.g. scapegoating trans people) are indelible without a wild paradigm shift of the core tenets of the party.
Three drink bonus: My brain is trying to color in some takeaways from the early progressivism movement (which IIRC gave birth to elitist leftism), but it hasn't really gelled yet.
I envy your lack of this particular childhood trauma.
No kidding.
I remember dad making me read some book proving the end times were here because Saddam was Nebuchadnezzar reborn (the proof was their silhouettes looking similar). So much "whore of Babylon" stuff.
He recently sent me a YouTube video of a guy talking about the valley of Jehoshaphat and Trump heralding the end times.
It never ends.
As much as I'd love to convince you to drink some other cocktails, you've got a set of decent selections already. I'll add and reiterate.
Bourbon $25-$35 (depending on where you are assuming US) these are mixing price and all eminently sippable neat:
- Wild Turkey 101
- Elijah Craig Small batch
- Buffalo Trace
- Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond
Tennessee whiskey (like Jack Daniels but better and about the same price):
- George Dickel
Scotch $20-$25 It will hit the note for speyside drinkers and won't break the bank:
- Chivas 12yr
Scotch $35-$50 cheap single malt you won't mind sipping after the party:
- Glenfiddich 12
- Glenlivet 12
- Bruichladdich Laddie
Irish $55-$60 not big on Irish whiskey, but I always have a bottle for the ones who insist and Jameson is frat party trash:
- Redbreast 12yr
White Rum $20-$25
- Plantation 3 stars
- El Dorado 3yr
If you feel like something with color and a bit bigger flavor,
- Appleton Signature
If I could beg you to step away from the amaretto, a boulevardier is a fine whiskey cocktail that can be adjusted easily to taste. Get you some campari and sweet (red) vermouth (carpano antica, cocchi di torino, or punt e mes) to go with the bourbon. I like a ratio of 2 bourbon to 1 campari and 1 vermouth.
Pardon any errors here (Cunningham's law and all), I was a bit toasty while listening to the knowledge fight episode.
My favorite part of this whole thing is that he's calling shenanigans because he knows that the high bid didn't win. And Alex signed documents acknowledging there were other factors.
There were 2 bids. Just 2. And do you know what the high bid was? $3.5 million. That's it. A paltry sum for his life's work. The price of a McMansion in California.

Since it went so well last time Trump was president, it's just another virtue signal for him to wipe some more shit on.
A majority of Senate Republicans doubt Matt Gaetz will be confirmed as attorney general, sources say
Memories are really short apparently.
Recess appointments are "on the table."

Sounds like a movie reading of a telegram. Just missing the STOP after every sentence.
If she's still paying by the letter, OP should be thankful. It could have been long-winded.
