Norms change. Nobody knows how but one day something is okay to talk about and the next it’s not.
- mc32 6y agoProgressive statements from 2006 can today be considered dangerous. People don’t care about context at all. But, interestingly, they’ll also gladly ignore massive taboos (from their POV) if it’s in their favor. For example because Bernie makes some good arguments for progressive causes that he was against immigration undercutting wages many years ago, is ignored today, but if someone else had that history as a politician they potentially would be brought down, if they were more moderate (in either party).
