they would be running around with their hair on fire with all these developments going on, including this insane war. But they're not.

/*Outside of its progressive wing, the Democratic Party is a small c conservative, center right party. They're the right with a more humane take, good manners, and a smile. (Ironically, that's what the word "liberal" indicates in the world's more common political parlance, i.e., socially liberal supporters of free market capitalism. Only in the context of the uber right dominance in American politics does "liberal" connote supposed center left. So I guess we can say the party has finally matched its designation.)*/

a. This is all a distraction from (kitchen table issues|Epstein files).
b. We'll bring this up after the election.
c. We can't look like we're not supporting Israel.
d. Our consultants recommend that we stay quiet.
