    Ah. My bad. I was being overly snippy.

    ‘Moving the goalposts’ is when someone, during a conversation, rather than admitting they were incorrect about something, changes the subject to be about some other matter, as if that was the point of the discussion. Basically, it’s something people do to be annoying.

    I suppose the only way to assume the ‘liberal vs. conservative’ context is to read into it, and assume the media consensus American political context applies to it, but I personally don’t do that, since we are far away from media consensus around here, I just try to read people as they say. Which you have now been doing so, awesome!

    I’m not sure why they specified ‘NY’ either, but I don’t think it particularly matters other than that the bill is clearly some sort of attempt to curry favor with those who were opposed to the Mangione killing.

    Anyways. Cheers, comrade.

      It took me a bit to get there but I finally did. I was genuinely confused. I appreciate the exchange and you sticking with it until I caught up
