re: #125 HappyWarrior

Because many so called progressives live lives of privilege where they can afford to be purer than thou and not be adversely be affected by right wing policies. It’s very easy to bitch that for example, ACA isn’t comprehensive enough when you already got your and yours insured. In that way, they’re kind of a bastard twin of the fuck you, I got mentality that you see on the right.

They should move to a minority neighborhood in a deep red state. See how far that purity and idealism gets you when your own local and state governments consider you a second class citizen.

I have no time for progressives who think that it would all be perfect if there were no secrets and everything was transparent and everybody was as privileged as they are. The real world doesn’t work that way.
