(45,319 posts)Tax laws have stolen money from us for being gay for my entire life. Those of you who like to pretend that 'economic issues' are not tied to issues of prejudice and social injustice are not correct and it gets insulting. Many do the same thing with the Pope, they excuse his venomous bigotry and his opposition to choice and contraception because he says 'I think of the poor'. The claim that a few words about money excuse horrific hate toward others is shameful, The notion that birth control and tax law and access to proper health care are not issues that effect a person's economy is a short sighted view, perhaps it is the one set of opinions that prevent real people from taking up a 'more left' stance.
When I see folks praising a man who says I am demonically influenced, I do not care if they praise him for something else, they are endorsing that ignorant bigotry as well. 'I like him because the trains run on time.' That's what it is.
Warren, if she wants to be President, best quickly find the time to speak about what she did back then, her Party was a raging monster.
I think anyone 'backing' either of these candidates at this time are doing the wrong thing. This is the time for vetting them. Questioning them. Why is that so upsetting to 'backers' of both of these potential candidates?
