I understand that how regular people can make that rationalization, but this is the press we’re talking about here.

Yeah.  "This a war! Put away your weapons or someone will get hurt "

Aiming for moral outrage without trying outrage anyone is useless. 

Dump isn’t in cahoots with Putin; he’s being led by the nose BY Putin.

Someone wrote an op-ed a year ago calling these internment camps, and no one listened. No one cared. that 50% you were trying to reach, never got reached with such niceties. Now they are listening, and a discussion is being had about how horrible these camps really are.

Just because you have the right to criticize AOC - and you do - that doesn’t make you criticism or logic inherently sound.  

AOC: There is a big problem at the border where there are concentration camps

A rose by any other name, etc.

So the people you want to reach are those that would be horrified and moved towards action by the phrase “internment camps” but who are also offended to the point of inaction by the phrase "concentrate camps"? How many people like that do you really think exist? Ten? Twenty? 

Fuck you, no. We have had enough nutjobs here, took us long enough to clean them out (and we aren’t finished yet).

You know, when I first saw this still, I genuinely thought it was just a poorly timed photo.

IF IT’S NOT AN ISSUE, WHY’D YOU BRING IT UP?

See this is what I’m talking about. Your bizarro land rationale about how they answer this particular question out of context. Why in the world should any of us give a shit about the theater of how these politicians would answer this particular question out of the context of…

Yes, also she was a Republican until 1996. That puts her well into her adult professional years- until her mid 40s.

That means this intelligent grown ass woman lived through the Contra Wars, the Gulf War, the Iraqi sanctions, the arming/funding salafists in Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, the invasions of Grenada and…

You are nuts. Biden has voted for all the wars, all weapons deals with the Saudis, and was totally fine with expansion of the drone war and its apparatus, and totally fucked up attempts at regime change in Libya and Syria. But you think he’d give an answer like this? You are living under a rock.

Warren has made…

The guy who was just congratulating himself for breaking bread with segregationists doesn’t have political instincts that are that questionable?

In Biden’s eyes, Trump did the civil thing, he didn’t go for all out war, just “limited strikes” Biden is very open about the fact that he eats this shit up for breakfast. This is every half-measure evil that Biden has supported. where in a struggle between innocents who don’t want to be opressed and people who want…

“An answer like this” referred to the content of the answer, not the tone in which it was made. Does this clear up your confusion? The content of this response was substantively different from what you’d see out of any of the other Democrats, particularly a longtime piece of shit warhawk like Biden. You’re the one…

Well the point most certainly isn’t the sarcasm (although that was entertaining), it’s the intelligent, principled rejection of military hostility against a country we’ve been antagonizing since the 1950s. That said...

Damn, shades of ‘80s Bernie popping through? More please. That there is literally no other “serious” candidate in the race who’d give an answer like this — one that is both obviously correct and absolutely forbidden in mainstream political discourse — says some truly wild, truly depressing things about this country.
