Catchy message; but upper class conservative.
If platforming universal healthcare and economic change is conservative then sign me the duck up as a staunch conservative. People are attacking him for having a business but that doesn't make him the enemy. Plenty of good solid people have a business and pump the money back into their employees and community. It's the billionaires, the ultra wealthy who think they can play god that are the problem.
I swear, "progressives" can be the most backwards people and their own worst enemy all in the name of ideological purity.
You're arguing with someone from .ml, it's not worth the effort
I learned a while back that arguing with someone is less about convincing that specific person, and more about convincing the bystanders who read/hear the argument.
It's actually made it less frustrating for me to engage with people online. The person I'm taking to I know will never change their mind, but someone else might that I don't know about.
Definitely applaud that effort and patience!
I've lost some enthusiasm for it as they generally seem argue with the same tactics as from the right-wing playbook. Really designed to muddy the water and confuse the whole conversation in their favor.
