22. Maybe I'm being over sensitive

It happens. But this post seems to be both insinuating that the homeless are all drug addicts, and that these people are a smelly problem looking for a place to get dumped.

I dunno. Maybe I'm off base, but I just kind of find the idea of using the lure of cheap drugs and booze to dump am undesired population on a political enemy to be a bad look.

Again, maybe I'm over sensitive, but it kind of seems like the two groups it's still ok to dump on in leftist circles are the homeless and sex workers.
