A distraction from what? What is overt, disgusting racism distract from in any helpful way?
The topic does not matter.
The assertion at hand does not matter.
Whether anyone believes the assertion does not matter.
The only thing that matters is: Are you playing offense or defense?
Cuz attacking looks like winning. And explaining looks like losing.

Okay? Well they're being attacked. Massively. So I guess this distraction isn't working out for them.
Who is defending? Not them, they are doubling down. Everyone else is calling the mayor and asking for a statement, or doing some vox pop with Haitians on the ground.
Yes, and all of those statements essentially are "Donald Trump and JD Vance are racist liars."
Which you seem to think people shouldn't say.
It "seems" you are wrong. I think they should go on the attack, and do that.
They are doing that.
Not the same kind of attack, it's weak. You hear anyone except lemmy people pointing out the stochastic terrorism? Or even pointing out that it's racist? All Harris said is, it's sad.. It's either defense (they aren't eating cats), or weak attacks
‘A crying shame’: Harris rips Trump's remarks about Springfield
"It's got to stop"
Such attack! Very powerful
Yes, I hear tons of people all over the media point out how it's racist.
Do you not pay attention to the news at all?
