"Where you stand depends on where you sit" nghĩa là gì?


"Where you stand depends on where you sit" = đứng ở đâu là do đã ngồi chỗ nào -> nghĩa là quan điểm về một vấn đề được hình thành từ mối quan hệ cá nhân với vấn đề đó; câu này còn được gọi là 'Mile's Law' (luật của Mile) vì có nguồn gốc từ quan chức chính phủ Mỹ Rufus Miles vào đầu thế kỷ 20.

He hoped to win at least one state (bang) and that neither Joe Biden or Donald Trump would get a majority of the electoral votes. Then a majority of the House of Representatives, having one vote for each state, could make him president, ignoring (phớt lờ) more than 125 million votes cast for Biden or Trump. This reminds me of the old saying: Where you stand depends on where you sit.

Back when he was a congressman, Governor DeSantis voted against federal aid after Hurricane Sandy, but today is asking for 100% federal funding to deal with the clean-up of Ian’s massive destruction. I guess it’s true: “Where you stand depends on where you sit.”

Back in the 1980s, they mobilised (huy động) millions against the deployment of medium-range missiles by the United States and blocked civilian nuclear sites. But where you stand depends on where you sit. 

This is one of those situations where where you stand depends on where you sit in, in a way. But there are, I think, people who would also look at this and say that these platforms are used for, you know, certainly - you know, conspirators (người âm mưu) in the - say, the January 6 mob attack on the Capitol, just to name one example, are using these apps to communicate with each other.
