It's strawmaning the argument to imply that only a robot can choose what to dive into details on.

Democrats should be diving into the details on progressive economic platforms every chance they get, as wholly, messily, and authentically as they can.

But yes, they should refuse to jump on progressive social landmines their opponents lay out.

What's your alternative and better suggestion?

[platevoltage]

Going all in on Israel in 2024 WAS the social political landmine. A half-assed attempt at sorta kinda defending trans people wasn't.

So your offered alternative is {everything the same, except harder/softer? on Israel}?

[platevoltage]

Yeah dude. That's totally what you should have gathered from this exchange.

If I misinterpreted your suggestion, feel free to clarify.

Taking potshots is easy: putting down your own marker is hard.
