United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

Vance cookin', what the fuck. 

I don't like the guy, I won't vote for the guy, but this thing he calls out in this interview is one of my biggest annoyances with modern left-leaning politics. This like...defensive crouching and handwaving of inconvenient facts.

Obviously Martha Raddatz is a media figure and not literally a Democratic Party operative, but she's carrying water for them by just sort of blithely leaning on literally correct distinction---a handful of apartment complexes factually IS NOT the entire city--while just blowing past the emotional reality at 600/mph.

This is something that the left insists they are good at (centering emotional truth that can be obscured by facts and figures) but they are really just opportunistic in this regard, and should be called out for it more.
