Characterizing it that way feels like you just want an excuse to stick your head in the sand and stop fighting. If you're fighting to feel good about winning, go join the other side and feel good about winning while losing as much as you like. But this literally is not a final real victory and should not be celebrated until we've actually won. You're being whiny and petty about serious shit. This discussion is over.
They literally said to treat this as winning one battle in a war but to keep fighting, and you tell them they want to stop fighting.
❌ “Yeah they’re given their contract to an other company” <- this is defeatist and invites doing nothing
✅ ‘This is great, we can build on this momentum and pursue the city council to make sure no other companies get a contract to do the same thing!’ <- recognizes the win, gives direction for more action
If you want to actually know what position I hold about something you can ask instead of making things up about what you assume I must think because I… disapprove of using an explicitly uplifting community to shit on a genuine accomplishment. Please get some perspective.
