Declaring oneself the winner without allowing oppostion

I agree completely.

Wait! Let me see if I understand this correctly.

You are grownup. You are whining because the children aren't paying attention to you?

That isn't how reality usually works. But OK.

You don't have good reading comprehension skills, do you?

Being silenced and having posts removed is nowhere in the same ballpark as wanting someone to pay attention to you.

You're a fantastic example of the the left's attitude that "Our (the left's) feelings don't care about your (the right's) facts."

WHY ADULTS WHINE AND HOW TO STOP THEM
https://www.mcleodandmore.com/2012/12/04/why-adults-whine-and-how-to-stop-them/

Nobody likes a whiner. We may cast judgmental eye rolls when we witness kids whining in public, “I waaant my juice pop now!,” but in my experience, adults are way worse whiners than kids.

Kids are up front about their whining. Adults, however, often try to crowbar whining into casual conversation.

Ask a colleague or neighbor how they’re doing and see how long it takes before the conversation degenerates to a whine.

Any of these sound familiar?

“Man, I’m working my buns off, my travel schedule is a killer.”

“Crazy busy, trying to keep up with the kids, pay bills and keep us afloat.”

I’d roll my own eyes if I hadn’t uttered these exact sentences many times myself. So why do we seem so predisposed to whining?

Two reasons, one is valid and the other is not.

Valid reason: We crave connection

Sharing your woes with another person makes you feel a little less alone in the world. We want other people to “feel our pain,” to share in our ups and downs, and to acknowledge our efforts. This is not a bad thing. When you’re feeling down, comforting words from someone who cares can be a soft safe place to land.

But unfortunately whining can become a habit. Our natural desire for connection often leads us to false conclusions about how other people will respond when they hear our woes.

Invalid reason: We want to be admired

We (mistakenly) believe that if others truly understood how tough we have it, they’ll respect and admire us. Sadly, it doesn’t work this way. Telling people how hard things are evokes pity and sympathy at best and boredom and disdain at worst.

For example, if someone starts to complain about their soo busy schedule and how tired they are, what goes through your mind?

Do you think, “Wow, I really admire this person? Probably not, more likely you think:

“That sounds awful I’m glad I don’t have your life.” Or, “You think you have a crazy schedule? Let me tell you mine.”

Whining is a race to the bottom that you don’t want to win.

So what’s the difference between sharing your troubles and flat out whining? Two factors to consider: your audience and their likely response.

For example, when CEOs publicly whine about market conditions or government regulations, it has a chilling effect on customers and employees. People may feel bad for the boss, but pity isn’t exactly a brand builder nor does it boost morale.

The same thing is true when we whine to acquaintances about our coworkers, boss or kids. People aren’t likely to respond in a way that’s helpful for us. Whining to an inappropriate audience is basically saying, “Please feel sorry for me because I’m a victim with no power to influence my circumstances.”

If you want to keep other people from whining, the first step is to stop engaging in it yourself. There’s a simple question to stop whining in its tracks:

So what are you going to do about it?

You can use it on yourself and others. It moves you out of whine mode and into problem-solving.

Whether it’s your kid complaining about a teacher, an employee whining about suppliers, or yourself venting about your spouse, give it a few minutes of supportive listening, then ask – What are you going to do about it?

Whining is like cheap wine, sweet on your lips, but if you indulge too often, you’ll never get anything done.

I wonder if any of these tactics to help adults who whine were utilized during Trump's first term in office to assist the many millions of whinging adult children who were throwing tantrums.

No.

We mobilized, voted and threw that fuckhead out.

Whining was what Trump was all about.

For others reading this. That was an actual statement that this person believes, that no leftists threw ANY temper tantrums during Trump's tenure in office. None at all.





Another tactic of the left is to cheat, and then remove the ability for others to expose their cheating. Gee, I wonder why Google won't allow any videos on YouTube that discuss irregularities in the 2020 election. It's a Scooby Doo mystery!
