Please explain this to me

I'm a bleeding heart liberal, and it seems to me they were stranded. And yes, if Musk had rescued them four months ago, he'd have been a hero.

I remember a story about where they worried that the female astronaut could not eat enough to sustain life so yes, they were stranded by any reasonable definition.

Thank you for confirming my thought that it did seem they were stranded. The media sources were trying hard to create an alternate universe. And they wonder why they are not doing well with people who have common sense.

okay-----stranded, with no way home. But yeah---this is why it is best ta stay home & look after your petts. Don't venture out after dark. See?
