The problem is your evidence is weak as shit. Your case crumbles upon the slightest examination. So what do you do then? You go to my character or claim that my position is a result of my own bigotry, rather than to instead buttress your case. You went straight to ad hominem.

And regarding me, you truly don't get it at all. I assure you I'm well aware that there's no such thing as economic justice without social justice. The only thing that others seem to be oblivious to is that there's no such thing as social justice without fighting for economic justice. They go hand in hand. Social issues are a tool of the establishment to pit people against each other. If you don't show people what they're doing, they fall for it. If you don't want to tackle the economic motivations behind that divisive propaganda, you can't show people how the wool is being pulled over their eyes and for who's gain.

And Sanders always punches up. That's the right direction. He isn't attacking immigrants here or in the interview with Dobbs. He's attacking those who exploit or demonize. I'm under no illusions that he has no blind spots....but you're going to have to do better if you want to sell this poison to anybody but those who already have a taste for it.
