Yes, those were the only two policy differences, well argued. We do know that you have a very pro-muslim bias, so your opinion in this regard must be regarded as skewed.
Quote:If you want to "enjoy watching" as I "twist off this hook," then you need to make sure I am on a hook. You do that by demonstrating there is no ground to suppose millions of Trump voters embraced his racism and misogyny, and other millions did not find it objectionable enough to vote for someone else. And you need to demonstrate that liberals--at least Arlie Russell, the author of your article--are not dismissing these darker motivations driving Trumpism.
You've provided zero evidence that they did. Kind of a catch 22 for you. I don't need to demonstrate a damn thing, you're the one making an assertion.
Quote:Finally, the "author's point" is exactly what is in question here. Hence my reference to a blind spot in liberal vision. Even granting generally that people have trouble seeing beyond their bubbles or retreating back into them, it's not at all clear why you are not doing exactly that in post which begins by offering a conclusion as proof and ends with an imaginary scene of enjoyment offered in place of demonstration.
Quite the word pretzel here. I'll make is simple. The author demonstrated a clear bias towards insulation on the left (or among Dems since the term "left" triggers you so much). If you disagree then merely explain why. Thanks and enjoy the rest of your day.
