      I’m still waiting for your response to her Sisi quote given it’s clear that you’re not just being a Devil’s advocate but are bent on defending her and promoting her.

      I'm still waiting for you to clarify how a Sisi quote is responsive to my point about Assad, which is the tweet you responded to.

      Easy. My case is she likes awful people. Sisi is one example. I provided a quote. You’re right - I don’t have a quote of her *praising* Assad, but I do for Sisi. You can deflect with Assad all you like but what’s your response re Sisi? Anything?

      How could I possibly be "deflecting with Assad" when my original point was about Assad? You deflected by interjecting with Sisi. And you've done the exact same thing in the past. Happy to have a separate discussion about Sisi, but not instigated by your deflection.

      Simple question: what do you make of Gabbard’s support for Sisi? (I’ve already conceded that you’re right, there is no quote from her praising Assad. But there is a quote from her praising Sisi.)

      Great, that's actually a really important concession, because as you can probably tell by the popular media portrayal of her, lots of people think otherwise. As for the Sisi quote, it seems to be referring to counter-ISIS efforts. I don't like the overly-flattering language.

      That’s a cop out and you know it. Sisi is a brutal dictator and mass murderer, not to mention a recruiting sergeant for ISIS, and she was endorsing his leadership as courageous and legitimizing his rule.https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/photos-rep-tulsi-gabbard-meets-egypt-president-el-sisi-and-other-leaders-cairo …

      Would you prefer that she undertake efforts to overthrow Sisi? Declaring him "courageous" is overly-flattering diplomatic language, and I object. But I wouldn't say meeting with him is inherently "legitimizing."

      Yes the opposite of flattering a dictator who murders people and not condemning him is... regime change (!) A moronic suggestion. This is a pointless exchange. You’ll clearly justify and apologize for anything she does. Good night.

      I said I objected to the quote you identified, and that's somehow "apologizing" for it. Interesting. Good night.

          As an Iranian who is living 24/7 in the situation you 2 are talking about, let me overstep, and give a hint. Nobody is perfect, & you have to deal with what you got. You have to play the hand you've been dealt. Tulsi is right on so many points. You can't be full on idealist. 1/2

          I get the comprise. If Tulsi is not good enough. Then who is? But! You can't forget what's right completely either. If she's wrong on something. Then she's wrong. Trying to cover it up, or downplay or justify it. It'd cause much more harm than good. 2/2

          Mehdi's cognitive dissonance is in full display for the rest of us that are reading this convo.

          Gabbard (1) appears to be cozy with fanatic right wingers like Modi (2) but also appears to be opposed to US Wars. Mehdi Hasan and his friends apoplectic about (2) and will use (1) to accomplish it.
