What is a Republican These Days? (from an inside source)

10. "... and they don't give a shit if gays can marry or not. "

You got it right. And the social issues are used to drive wedges between democrats, quite successfully.
Criticize the TPP and chained CPI? Get slapped down with oh, but he says gay people should be able to marry!
Guess what? Social issues do not EXCUSE economic wrongs. They just don't. To make them the same thing, and to act as if well, there are only so many hours in the day, or whatever - that is playing right into corporate hands. They do not give a shit who marries who, they just use it as a wedge and a smokescreen. And to fall into line by insisting we cannot be angry about economic issues because of social issues is just dancing to their tune like puppets.
