> if you're an economic loser, I guess left-wing politics (tax the rich!) is appealing
That is, in itself, an appalling caricature, albeit some left-wingers might be in that category. It's like saying all libertarians/right-wingers are Gordon Gecko "greed is good", devil-take-the-hindmost callous money-grubbers.
- vixen99 10y agoIt's you who has used the word 'all'. Replace all with some in your counter example and both are undoubtedly true. Appalling? I agree.
- m0nty 10y agoThe use of the word "loser" (which has emotional connotations) is mostly what I object to here.
- pessimizer 10y agoReplace "all" with "some," and every political grouping becomes lentil-munching sandal wearers, including Trump voters.
