Honestly, I think a lot of the field could use a reappraisal or more policing. Mind you, I'm a layperson, but it seems to me - from entire anecdotal evidence - that some people are not necessarily getting the help they need and seem to be entirely broken adults. They seem to instead seek out - and get - a permission structure to be their worst selves. In particular, people that are almost textbook cases of narcissists.

By this I mean that adults seem to shop around until they find someone that will do this for them. Not that the whole field is like that...but I don't know that there is any mechanism in the field to counter this.

Anyway, I find it wild that it would be the case that adults are ruled out from having ODD? Does every child with ODD grow out of it, or do they get lumped in with some other set of behaviors?

Again, I'm a layperson, and of course labeling everyone that has a severe case of being an annoying contrarian on virtually every topic as having ODD is probably not accurate.

However: I think the people that think it's a serious adult take to want the entire system burned to the ground and that all of America "deserves" awful outcomes if their single issue is not treated in the exact way they want or if they don't get a perfect little pony for a candidate most likely have deeper issues. In no way should that take be considered the response of a healthy and well-adjusted adult.

Genocide is now too far of a bar to clear for these people. If you're anti-genocide you're just an idealist.

Good to know that these people would be touting how moral they are in 1945 during the Holocaust.

The DNC has told them they don't like primaries because the poors get a say in it. They'll say show up in the primaries while they ignore results and tilt the scales.

This is such a lame attempt at a straw man. Fuck off, nobody thinks she was perfect.

It was obvious to Biden himself during his first run. One of the promises he made in 2020 was that he wouldn't run for a second term. He should have held to his word, and had a primary.

They had four years to figure out what to do with Biden.
