In reply to the discussion: Pelosi, Democrats launch Mueller messaging blitz [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)57. "She's playing this wrong." Because you say so? Because you read cartoons that say so?
The only redemption she has...
She doesn't need the "redemption" of your personal approval, despite what you are convinced of. And unlike you, she doesn't consider it 'playing' she considers it her job, and one that is deadly serious at this point in history. She will keep on doing her job unil at least until 2020. You're going to need to find a way to get your blood pressure down about her before that. But don't you fret - that mean lady who just won't do what you want has promised that she will leave in 2024. You can hang on until then, right? You'll have all that time to bash anything and everything she does. Or doesn't do, so there's that.
But do tell me, what credentials do you have to make that call about when and if impeachment? How many decades in Congress? How many 'impossible' bills like the ACA have you gotten into law? Why should I trust your judgement more than hers making this call? Or that cartoonist you proffered as solid factual intellectual backup to your anger at that lady politician. Really. A cartoon...
Because you are angry? Really, really angry? And really really sure that you're right? I hear that alot from voters, some of them Democrats... (see what I did there?)
See, I'm not the one making "blind" judgements. I'm just not hobbled by anger at the very sight of her like some are, so I can assess logically, who is more qualified and who is less qualified. And then I make up my mind. I'm not calling you blind - although rage and fear and anxiety can indeed blind one to the part of the brain that makes intellectual decisions.
You have avoided several questions I asked about what "not being politically expedient" means. I'll take it you are afraid of my response, since you've called me a "liar" and tried to change the topic when I hit a particularly sensitive nerve.
Take a break. It sounds like you need it.
And I can say anything with impunity if I just put a
there. Glad you told me that.

So agreeing with Mcar that some other people will in fact likely be unhappy with something

No, you got confused and posted before you really saw what you were complaining about.

Well, hopefully this will penetrate a little, but I doubt that many true Trump supporters

So now you're saying that it is politics.... and messaging has nothing to do with it.

It's not about liking or disliking any politician. Please tell me how the 12th dimensional chess is

And we have straw man #2 - combined with a false dillema: "Blindly clapping for Nancy"

Like the 5 times you've changed it? Projection and demonizing those who don't agree with you
