Not an overreaction nor deliberate maliciousness. Just stating my opinion that
the LP Statement is moot. The LP must know that their opinion in this crises
is moot. Whether or not you like it, the majority of the country could care
less about the LP (as the voters have decided) or their opinion. The LP's only
reason to release the statement is self-promotion. But unlike the "big two", I
have yet to see a statement that the LP would support the decisions of the
President in any actions taken (have I somehow missed it?).
Now exactly how am I supressing debate?
