June 4 (Reuters) - Karine Jean-Pierre, who was former President Joe Biden’s press secretary at the White House from 2022 until 2025, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to the publisher of her forthcoming book.

“We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past,” she was quoted as saying by Legacy Lit, part of the Hachette Book Group, that will release her book ‘Independent’ in October.

    I love this reasoning. Do you apply this to literally anything else in your life?

    “Hey I think we should target the cancer cells instead of taking out the whole liver because I’m pretty sure that’s bad”

    You do see how extremely vague this “alternative solution” you’re offering is, right? I think the fact that people struggle this much to give anything resembling a concrete answer when this question is posed highlights just how impossible the situation is that the doctor is facing.

    I’m extremely sympathetic to the reluctance of looking carefully at each cell under a microscope looking for cancer- often looking like the healthy cells nearby. While I can’t defend removing a patient’s entire liver, I also don’t feel comfortable telling them not to when I have absolutely no idea what they should be doing instead.

      Nobody forced you to engage with my question. It’s you who chose to. It’s pointless to get frustrated with me for your failure to come up with an aswer.

        Realistically what do you want me to say? Should I come up with a fully fledged military plan to take out Hamas? There are plenty of articles you can read from people who are experts in counterinsurgency and military strategy that do have more detailed plans, but I have a feeling you won’t be satisfied with those either because you will just shift the goalpost to be a precise list of strike locations and tactical movements because fundamentally the issue is that you don’t want to feel complicit in something horrible.
