Dear Dems, Your genuflecting at the altar of “I also condemn bad brown people” alienates your base while gaining you zero “moderates.” You merely accept and parrot the opposition’s storyline about the impetus behind the asinine actions of a kleptocrat who endangers all of us.

I don't feel alienated when given context. The point was he should have been tried, not assassinated for the express purpose of going to war. What line does that parrot? What moderates are handwringing about the exact optics of Dem purity testing?

I confess to not understand your final question. But, attempt to address first point: framing is about where you focus attention, what you bring to fore in always complicated big picture. Leading w/statement about Solmeimani reinforces he is reason for trump’s act not excuse 4 it

I fundamentally disagree with your conclusion. It is a big, complicated picture. Context is important. Assassinations are condemned, even (especially?) when hawks try to justify "brown man bad." Addressing it is saying, "This isn't an excuse, fascist."
