There's a small percentage of far-left and wealthy that also ignore social distancing (like SF Mayor).
Let's not point finger and further assign blame.
- paxys 6y agoThe fact that when a few people from the left break quarantine rules it becomes front page news – while half the country (including every GOP politician) has been living the past year as if a pandemic doesn't exist – actually shows that one side is a lot more serious about it than the other.
- lightgreen 6y ago> people from the left break quarantine rules it becomes front page news It got to the front pages not because of breaking quarantine per se, but because of their hypocrisy: they wanted quarantine for everyone except themselves. GOP politicians were consistent: they criticised quarantine and violated quarantine.
- paxys 6y agoI didn't say they don't deserve to be criticized - they absolutely do. But pointing at a handful of high profile democrats breaking quarantine rules and then saying "see both sides are the same" is extremely disingenuous.
- lightgreen 6y agoTalking like "There is a small percentage of far-right and wealthy that largely ignores social distancing" is extremely disingenuous. I was wanted to just point to that. And generally discourage from assigning labels like "far-right".
