I've already explained myself...what do you not understand?

Nigel went "non-linear" over a simple and obvious gaffe...which virtually all politicians have fallen victim to at one time or another...just to emphasize to him that VP Harris was not alone in this malady, I made him look at his chosen Pol's numerous examples...is it "Whattaboutism?"...yes, and I pointed it out...not to deflect from the VP's error, but rather to put the whole thing in proper perspective...that's the way I see it...you're free to disagree.

IMO, "Whattaboutism" has it's place when not used to avoid acknowledging a misstep or failure by one side/person, but rather to maintain perspective...too often I'm seeing it used by posters here who won't see the "Plank in their own eye".

Kamal Harris is a very intelligent former prosecutor who's 'ethos' is properly set...I'm sure the people she interacts with know this and are pleased to conduct business with her on the international stage.
