It makes sense if you realize that most of the Democratic Party lives in an alternate-reality Progressive Bubbleverse. And that their top priority is to earn more Ultimate Righteousness Points there. Without getting distracted by any crap from the so-called "real world".
- mordae 2y agoNo. They are in pockets. The only reason they push(ed) progressive human rights agenda was that it allowed them to differentiate without angering their donors. Hey, still mostly white guys in tech? Well at least you've renamed master to main, that settles it, right? Right?
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoBoth of these can be true. They’re not mutually exclusive.
- mordae 2y agoSure. Some of the powerless people in that party truly do believe in human rights and Herbert Marcuse ("words can hurt") and try to make things better. Apparently they are not the ones calling the shots. And yeah, there probably are "human rights lifestyle" people too. Again, powerless. But mostly extroverted and vocal.
