21. Talk about a thin skin

You are very selective in your outrage. That you think that an embarrassment is ridiculous.

Why is it embarrassing? Because it exposes how little some care about equality? That they defend the political elite being prioritized over front-line healthcare workers and the elderly in long-term care facilities? All because they think AOC is better than the rest of the human beings on the planet? It is interesting to see how little some adhere to their professed values, meaning not at all.

I'm one who doesn't believe that AOC or any other politician (it's all the same to me), except for those in the immediate line of succession to the presidency, deserve higher priority than the vulnerable, than those the CDC said should be the priority. But then I believe in equality, not a hierarchy of human worth.
