6. Because we can do more than one thing at a time.

Were you similarly concerned when the Squad members were running against incumbent Democrats, or is your defense of incumbents new-found? Did you speak up back then on DU about these new candidates who had the gall to run against incumbent Democrats? How dare they!

Rhetorical questions. The answer is obvious and, frankly, a bit funny. Our outrage about many things is nothing if not selective.

Similarly, I find it funny that defense of incumbents suddenly becomes important to politicians only after they become incumbents. Before then, it's "down with the status quo!"

"The enemy of the Jewish people is the Nazi-laden Republican party."

The Jewish people have many enemies. There is also a very large gray area between "friend" and "enemy" where many reside. When DUers are comparing Israel with the Nazis, as I have seen on multiple occasions of late, they sure as hell aren't friends.

To forestall a potential objection, I'm aware that Jews and Israel are not exclusively synonymous, but any reference to the Nazis in relation to Israel is abhorrent, not to mention laughable.
