i care about not financially supporting a person that is actively trying to disenfranchise me, why is that a difficult concept for some people? that not everyone is motivated exclusively by financial profit? is moral bankruptcy so pervasive that some people assume it is unanimous?

'They' - in this case - are those who are unable to empathize. People who only learn of other's struggles through visceral personal experience. Conservatives, in general, struggle with this class reasoning... Very much a 'if I don't experience it then it doesn't exist' kind of mentality. Frustrating and exhausting. A lack of imagination, a lack of empathy, they just are lacking in these regards.

  • Your comments are all in absolutes. As if this was the one thing that mattered to you, everything else is irrelevant. Don't most people make their decisions based on a balance of considerations? Dismissing half the world as nazi or fascist does not seem productive, it kinda makes you look like the insane one.
