The democrats dream is to become the oppressor. The dems are exactly who I am being critical of. I encounter democrats every day who say things like, "maybe we shouldn't let those hicks vote".
And I'm not proposing appeasement. Fascist policy must be stamped out. You can not barter with it.
This is not a "meet in the middle" position I propose. This is a leftist position of "feed everyone, house everyone, care for everyone, wellbeing for all, no matter who".
Yes, all means all. I do not care who you are, you deserve food, water, healthcare, housing, etc. If you have done harm to others, you must work to make them whole through your acts, not by rotting in a cell -- restorative justice not punitive justice.
Do not mistake my kindness for weakness.
