Well, we've managed to go several replies deep here and not get through at all to one another as far as I can tell. I see your position and think it's delusional and partisan. You either can't see mine or are being intentionally dishonest (I suspect a bit of both).

As I mentioned before, I'm not sure exactly what the right answer is here. I'm just sure it's more complicated than your pulpit would suggest.

I don't what partisanship has to do with anything here. This is just an extremely important issue. You're arguing for a position that will lead to hundreds of thousands more deaths within months. That may seen like the nuanced, "complicated" position to you, but to me, it looks like fiddling while Rome burns.

Like I said, you're either not understanding the position I've given or are deliberately being dishonest in your representation of it. Maybe it's my fault for communicating it poorly, though that seems unlikely. Rather it seems more likely you're intent on misrepresenting it as a matter of partisan rhetoric. I do doubt you're completely aware of your partisan slant here, after all your just on the righteous side of saving lives. But your talking points and misunderstanding and characterization of mine are all too predictable along those fault lines.

"Partisan" towards whom?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Partisan is not a verb.
