    No-show.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Wouldn’t surprise me if he was denied a prime speaking spot and would rather not show up than be just another senator.

            Could be. What does that say about the current state of the party?

              That not every junior senator gets a prime speaking spot regardless of how ambitious they are?

                          I don't know if it's so much anti-semitism as antagonism toward Israeli conservative policy. But of course it will be interpreted as anti-semitism because that's how it goes. if you don't care for BLM's goals you're a racist.

                            Beg to differ.

                            I think many American have a shared vision of equality. They don't have a shared version of equity.

                            Secondly, haven't seen many anti-BLM Americans rioting in the streets or chasing black students off of college campuses.

                              I think the latter is the impetus, but whenever you take it out on Jewish citizens, not on policymakers, well that's obviously crossing into the former.

                              EDIT
                              I also don't think one bucket fits all here.

                                I think the multi-bucket idea works for me too. One COULD hate Jews, but I don't think that label is appropriate for all those who oppose current Israeli policy.

                                Disclaimer - I am not one of them. In ANY time before the late 20th century Gaza simply would have been wiped off the face of the earth. I think Israel has prosecuted this war quite ethically against cowards who hide behind women and children then claim genocide. They are a scourge to be eradicated. But the civilian deaths are purely the fault of Hamas. We have used kid gloves for far too long to avoid the pearl clutching.

                                  Yeah, fully agree.

                                  Yeah. I think it's possible Israel has gotten a few things wrong over the past year, but they were attacked. You're not going to have a morally perfect response to that.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Anybody else find it interesting that Fetterman has been extremely quiet in such a heated campaign when his state and his regional home are going to be critical in the upcoming election?
