(57,775 posts)That you see the true enemy not as the 1 percent and Wall Street but ordinary Americans. People do indeed care about themselves, just like you do. Your post demonstrates just that. You completely discount the fact that how people get by, if they can put food on the table, educate their kids, and if they are shot and killed by police or assaulted at work could possibly matter compared to your enlightened concerns about a trade bill. The politics of entitlement knows no bounds. Clearly you think yourselves superior to the rest of humanity, and you have entirely no justification for that assumption. Your post is a stunning example of why your brand of politics can only fail. When you treat ordinary voters, the poor, the oppressed, with contempt because they lack your privilege to dwell on issues you see as so much more important than their lives, you purposefully alienate them by treating them like shit.
Whatever cause du jour you take up is far less important that your declaration of superiority, which is in fact the core of your political ethos.
BTW, Benghazi is touted on this very site by people who seek to use it against Clinton. Looks to me like you have some work to do among your own ranks. Come to think of it, there are an awful lot of Jenner posts.
