is there not room outside of the right for people who are not that empathetic or would rather not spend the energy to understand these people? I want action on climate change, I want single payer health care, subsidized college, reproducti

how does bikeshedding apply to this situation? my understanding of the term is getting caught up in minute details instead of the main work, such as arguing over the color of a bike shed before the foundation of the house is laid

there is no direction of the big bang. You sitting in your chair is the exact center of the universe for your frame of reference. all we have is the sphere of light that can reach us. That doesn't imply anything about a global universe

if every definition needed to redefine definitions of its terms it would be impossible to discuss anything. Within a certain domain, it is assumed you know basic definitions within it that can be used to talk about more complex things.

drivers bringing restaurant food to individual houses doesn't really seem like something that scale helps. More people using the service requires more drivers.

if the compromise made by congress is that it should not cover 100% needs, then the program is supplemental by definition. it doesn't matter what each party would prefer the program to be, only what is passed

I don't think the argument is that a rich individual should pay more in taxes to feel personally more altruistic. There is specific policy that can only be enacted if all wealthy people pay more in taxes, such as medicare for all, or e
