It’s the name of an informal fallacy. Easy to search.Is there supposed to be any punctuation in there? Trying to figure it out
Ok so here..1) she rubs you the wrong way 2) projection or framing 3) she doesn't take advice well. See? We have three.
Can you tell me more about why you perceive that she doesn't take advice well? Because that's important for a president, to be able to listen to their advisors and problematic if they don't. Case in point is 45. What instances did Clinton not take advice well?

Some times these things are difficult to isolate and re-project effectively within a vacuum. You know how sometimes there's that smug person that you meet in public, that you just can't stand the cut of their jib, but also can't exactly pinpoint why? Here's three quick attributes for you though: her scoffing dismissive attitude toward those she disagrees with, her often displayed self-righteous indignation, and her overtly hawkish demeanor. I'm in the "middle age" range.

The democrats should give them cartons of smokes and tell them to have at it! How do you say regressive?
It should trigger the libs though and the base will love it! They will need to buy ashtrays, hope it is in the budget.

I grew up with the understanding that Dems were anti-war, and Republicans were war-mongers. I feel like it was that way since the 60's, and was the was I was raised. As a teenager and young adult, I participated in many anti-war marches, which were alongside my fellow Democrats. Yes, since 2008 the Democrats what become war-mongers too, which is one of the reasons that I no longer endorse the party.

Since it's in DC, that means that they can smoke weed too right?

You are ignoring the causes of war and in some cases who started them. There is however such a thing as a just war, one that is required and has been forced on one. It was a long time since America had a just war and such a military bargain as Ukraine, the reason for war is very important. Contrast Russia and Ukraine, a half a million Russians ran away and a half a million Ukrainians left good jobs and lives to go home and join the army to fight for their country.
It is in America's interest to back this liberal democracy, they are the best bet Uncle Sam ever had I figure. It is also in everybody's interest to get rid of Putin and break Russian military power. Remember America is far from alone in this fight it has many liberal democratic allies, almost all of them are of the same mind, no arm twisting required. Vlad has many enemies and earned each one, in modern war you win by having more friends than enemies and Ukraine has many friends, Vlad has few.

Isn't this sort of justification the same which was used for the US to invade Viet Nam? An effort to curb Imperial Communism..

Federal property, but if they were to legalize pot, for sure! Matt could light up a fatty and pass it to Santos sitting in the house live on CSPAN. Try and stop me Kevin!

It is the opposite Vietnam was a war of national independence to them, America just replaced the French. However history has a way of moving on and since the end of the cold war imperialism is frowned upon and that 's what this is an imperialist invasion by the Russian empire/federation. America never had the backing of most of the population and neither did the strongmen they were using. Ukraine is costing America a pittance and is pennies on the dollar in value, plus no boots on the ground, it is their country and their blood equity, they are more than willing to make the bargain. It will destroy Russian military power, change the map of Europe and Asia and save America a lot of cash in the long run with a strong Ukraine at Russia's throat.
If America went to war with China, Vietnam would be your ally, another good bet, this time on the right side of history, if the people are with you, you will win, if given enough support.

Vietnam was not widely viewed as a just war, its over there with us invading Iraq.
What do you think the lefts view on the situation in the Ukraine should be? Stay pacifists and let them get slaughtered be leaving them to their own devices or go fight and/or give them the means to fight.

the key to the discourse is that justification is distinct from being just.

They can ask away, Kevin won his speakership by one vote, Santos's, he won't even expel him from the house when he is indicted or even convicted. If he resigns Kevin loses one and the democrats gain one, if he does not resign, but is expelled, Kevin only loses one. The answer is simple math and math can predict the future!

Our invasion of Iraq is not too dissimilar to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, is it? Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed at the hands of the US military is no chump change, but somehow we have a higher moral authority?
