The way you wield it as an insult is clear. I’m certainly not such, yet you have numerous times sneeringly called me that label.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:17 pmFLP represents the Far Left Progressive wing of the Democrat party. I don't use the term as frequently but I know you often times criticize the FRC which represents the Far Right Conservative wing of the Republican party. It is not a term of disparagement as you are implying. My own sister is by her own admission a FLP.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 5:36 pmYou're correct, some name calling is a matter of "opinion".cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 4:46 pmSo big deal, trump refutes the fact that he is a crook. Some of the things you have been called are hard to refute. I guess you and trump must have that trait in common? I've been called a jerk on this forum. You've been called a jerk on this forum.

Pelosi does go too far in saying "apologist for Trump", as Tur is not, but she's accurate in her statement, though without full and fair context, which she fundamentally admits is her 'role' to point out. Tur is pointing out context, which is quite fair and appropriate, as long as one also confirms that it's indeed the worst record of job losses versus adds in any Presidential 4 years in history, and if context and nuance is to be added, to also point out that the US has had the strongest rebound, with the highest job creation and lowest inflation rate post COVID, post Trump than any other developed country in the world.
Context and nuance is indeed important, but not merely as a pushback against sound bite hyperbole and not without full context and nuance. These formats aren't great for such discussion, but it would be refreshing to see it happen!
I haven't seen anyone called an apologist for Trump or MAGA on here who isn't at a minimum such.
What I don't understand is how this has anything to do with Pelosi's leadership of her caucus during her tenure. Yes, she had strong message discipline and she whipped the vote effectively but that's the job...are you criticizing her doing her prior job well or are you criticizing her message discipline and willingness to push back hard against a reporter taking her way from that discipline?
Was there some sort of other "attack"?
Have you or someone else been "name-called" something else you think is inaccurate?
I've been called a lot of things on here and I simply refute them when inaccurate. Not a big deal.
Some of it gets rather stupid and tediously repetitive, but ahh well.
I meant labels like "Biden apologist", "RINO", and your favorite, "FLP".
youth was clutching his pearls about Pelosi suggesting that Tur is a Trump apologist, which Tur makes quickly clear doesn't fit her, I just don't see the big deal, nor his trying to extrapolate that to "iron fist" and "name-calling" here on Fanlax between posters. Seems pretty "snowflake" to me...
Not a big deal, I just point out that the label doesn’t fit.
I don’t recall anyone but you using the term FRC.
I am more specific when I describe specific parts of the ‘hard right’ ideology. Indeed, I don’t consider hard right extremism to be ‘conservative’.
