On a Rainy Day

31. you might not find it as funny if I did the same dishonest and demeaning thing

...the glee in this is positively passive aggressive and just completely offensive, despite your cheerynessess in tearing me down along with your faint praise.

You got a reply to your query, not an invitation to make biased projections about what I believe. But having done so, the deftness in which you claim things about what I've written here (well out of context and evidenced only in your mind in this thread) is quite a thing to behold.

I suggest you restrict those disagreements with what I've written in the past to those threads you're referencing, and not attempt to carry on those disagreements here.

Nothing I wrote in response to your posit suggests I believe you shouldn't criticize any politician. What I have written is much more nuanced than this cherrypicked characterization of my beliefs, as if you can only communicate with a fallen thread.

Indeed, you have my actual beliefs right in front of you, in response to your suggestion that Democrats do the same navelgazing backbiting over Israel in the upcoming election that lost us the last one.

You're certainly free to do that counterproductive thing and promote it as you have here. I'm certainly free to disagree that the issue that dissuaded many Democrats from supporting the ONLY choice other than trump in that election should be made prominent in this one.

I don't agree that Israel is more important than, say, ICE and their terrorizing of my community. I believe that intractable issue and debate should center on republican responsibility as a majority, and the contrast on that issue couldn't be greater.

But that doesn't appear to be the concern here.

It seems as if the aim is to use the election to elevate what you believe should happen in Israel/Gaza by casting blame and responsibility on the party out of power; the party that is diametrically opposed to what Netenyahu has done; and similarly opposed to what republicans have abdicated in their legislative role.

I don't get it. It's politically fraught and already evidenced as a losing proposition for Democratic campaigns. What's the problem here with taking this fight to the party that's actually standing in the way of accountability and control over their own prerogative to wage war?

Why this projected speciousness against the minority party which we all know would act responsibly toward Israel, have always represented the will of most Americans toward that sovereign nation?

And then, to transpose all of that onto Democrats, both present and future? What happened to opposing republicans who have repeatedly voted in huge numbers to let Trump continue his war on at the behest of Netenyahu?

Why isn't highlighting those votes, that Democrats have demanded repeatedly, a better political campaign appeal than this ass-out strategy that supposes we've done something wrong?
