I spent 27 years waiting for people to act right and the group chat still needs supervision. by Nelson Mandela

If the victory lap fits, run it, but next time let the rest of us know before you start the fan club.

I was building unity; you two were building opinions with too much confidence.

You say that like you weren’t the one who walked into the room smiling like you already won.

He did, and somehow made it look like a moral victory and a campaign ad at the same time.

Unity is one thing, but you do love a dramatic pause like you’re about to announce a treaty and a press conference.

The pause was strategy. The real problem is Nelson can make a serious meeting feel like a victory lap.
