I don't want to get too much into this. I hate performative posts about how one should and should not argue. But just for the record, I was overtly kind in my post, and I was actually making an effort to agree with you. You must have thought that the racist thing was pointed at you? My apologies - it was not... I could have put sexist, or demagogic, or whatever... it was all just as an example, not an insult towards you in any way. It was meant as an example...."everybody hates accountability, but if one doesn't want to be a racist, then they shouldn't say racist things." That's what I was trying to say.
As I said, that I understand where you're coming from when you get tired of all the political back and forth. It can really feel shallow and self serving on both sides... maybe on this issue more than some.
Still though... like I was saying before... I understand how it could look like crazy nastiness and needless hostility, but at a time in which this President is seemingly left unaccountable for much of what he does, I'm not going to nock American voters for getting worked up right now. Getting nasty and angry is the exact appropriate reaction to this many shootings with Military Assault Rifles. The public SHOULD get angry about that stuff. Public outlash and public shaming seems to be the public's only major recourse of action at this point.
So, while I agree with you that all this political gamesmanship can be really frustrating at times, I believe that it's entirely warranted after so many of these.
