it is a strawman argument you are using.

It is a gotcha question that is irrelevant.

Don't you know how politics is played?

It's liike Baseball.

One can't be a Boston Red Sox and profess love for the Yankees
then next year they are traded to the Yankees and they hate the Red Sox

purists and absolutists are what has constantly ruined the democratic party as much as the rightwing extremists ruin their parties

How did Thomas Jefferson keep a straight face when he said All men are created equal, but didn't apply them to the slaves he kept? (never mind that women weren't equal either.)
