That’s really good advice. Unfortunately, in Amanda Marcotte’s case, it falls on deaf ears. Which is why she blesses Twitter with gems like this:

We’re feeling pretty generous today. So we’ll give her points for creativity.
For intellect? Not so much.
Seriously @AmandaMarcotte ? You are commenting on politics and you don't know what Lame Duck is?

@AmandaMarcotte You must know what "lame duck" means in politics. Tell me you know….

@AmandaMarcotte Yeah. No president has ever been called a lame duck before. Totally unprecedented. #HotTake

. @AmandaMarcotte Every president at same point becomes "lame duck". No need to invent issues.

Oh come on @AmandaMarcotte. That term has been used for years to describe both R and D presidents. A bit dramatic. https://t.co/4PTOizOTUI
