    Its almost as if the person you’re responding to is saying that public letter condemning all protestors is alienating them. Crazy.

      alienating them

      You mean SOME, not all. That is the tight rope. You’re not everyone

      Yes, that is what they said. And…?

        I believe the point they’re making is that she alienated more voters condemning the protests than she would have by refusing to.

          Are those voters likely to vote for Trump instead? Or do you think the centrists that Democrats tiptoe around during election years are?

          Once she’s in, once the immediate danger to the basic functioning of our government is over, I’ll be interested to see how she handles it. Right now though? She seems to be providing criticism while walking a careful line and trying to play it safe.

          If she doesn’t come firmly down on refusing to materially support the IDF after the election, I’ll be first in line to start making noise about it. But at the moment? We need to secure our ability to have future elections first or it’s going to get a whole lot worse. I get it.
