    While you have a point this kind of self sabotage is why we’re letting the Overton window fly right.

    Accept rich people who support leftist causes. Accept wealthy politicians that support leftist causes.

    Under our system single moms with 3 jobs, ex felons, underprivileged families, simply do not have the power to speak out for themselves.

    Your criteria just means you’ll never get help from anyone with power. You can’t alienate everybody with the resources to help.

      See my response to @PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee. I’m glad he’s supporting leftist causes, but he also has some very disturbing views and is basically running a cult.

        That’s fair nuance, I was reacting to the sentiment generally, but you have a point with this individual.

        I see the same sentiment directed towards any government official or well off supporter of socialism and to me it rhymes with “but you use iPhone!” in that it’s invalid criticism as a general rule.

        Your point stands in this case though, and so if anything I’m off topic.
