I fucking love the way political weasels dance around questions they don't want to answer. Every time it sounds like:

yes-honey-left: "Is murder bad?"

the-democrat: "I think it’s vital that we engage in open and nuanced conversations about issues that have shaped our society for generations. This is an issue that carries a lot of weight, history, and, frankly, emotion. And I want to be very clear when I say: I believe in the value of human life, and I believe in justice, fairness, and the rule of law. But it's also important that we consider the broader context—social, economic, historical. We have to ask ourselves: how did we get here? What systemic factors are in play? And more importantly, how can we work together—across the aisle, across communities—to foster a world where tough questions like this are part of a larger, solution-focused dialogue?"
