Could we stop wringing our hands and whining each time one of ours makes an

"inelegant statement"?

You can be sure there are hordes of RWNJ's ready to pounce on and amplify anything a Democrat says that they can make sound terrible. If nothing is said, they'll just make something up. This is a given---to be expected.

What should not be expected is one of us publicly agonizing about "Why did he/she say that? This is going to offend/shock/piss off potential voters! OMG! OMG!"

Yeah, I know we are free to criticize our own, but I am just suggesting that we cut our own some slack and remember that there really is no comparison between their thousands of intentional lies and our handful of misstatements.
