(459 posts)Here you kind of just prove the point that OP just wanted to rally their troops to conflate any criticism of Schumer and Jeffries with the weakest or unsubstantiated criticisms. Who people vote for isnt even at the emotional core of this discussion. Critical discussion often involves analysis of situations and their potential effects. Your opinion isnt invalid just because some who have the same opinion issue it without reason or by derision, so I dont know why you find offense. All criticism of Schumer and Jeffries is not bashing just because some chose to call them names instead of articulating their criticisms. Schumer and Jeffries are professional politicians that should be able to handle a bit of name calling, especially when they are not direct recipients. Is the best way of defending them making two-dimensional caricatures of fellow DU members? I understand that the bashers want Jeffries and Schumer to either change tactics or step aside. What is it you want besides insulating our leaders from criticism? Exactly what we are doing now because anything else would be ridiculous, hysterical, and cartoon level derision.
