(57,300 posts)You mean the ones that focus on trashing Democratic politicians over issues? I fail to see how an obsession with individual politicians comprises "truly important socially topical posts." Here you two are happily defending a Republican troll and treating fellow Democrats with scorn. Is it all about who can muster the most contempt for the Democratic party, and it's all good, regardless of intent or political ideology?
Putinstas. I suggest if people don't want to be associated with autocrats, they not stump for his wars. Pretty simple. If people find an association with a position they've taken to be insulting, they must not be entirely comfortable with the position. Yet rather than thinking through it, they get pissed off at people who noticed. I can be pretty sure if there were people on this site who stumped for Bush's wars, they would be reminded of it frequently. And yet we're supposed to pretend Russian bombs and guns don't really kill to make people who work to justify that war feel better? My personal view is that warmongering needs to be called out, regardless of the side they stump for.
