You aren't wrong, but you need to remember that a lot of people don't give a shit about helping other people. Any argument that uses "good for people" as the basis of argument is going to fail with them.
Who gives a fuck. If someone rejects the premise that good for people isn't good policy, fuck em. I'm tired of pretending their opinion matters.
Sorry to be spicy but like... I just don't think we need to validate them or pay attention. Let's build something not placate them.
Are you aware that their vote counts as much as yours? And many of them are in Congress, so their vote counts for a lot more than yours?
Don't get me wrong, I would love to simply excise people without basic empathy from any role of leadership or influence. But until we do that, we have to deal with them.
