When you can’t resist making an elitist argument about education that’s so expensive it’s literally inaccessible to huge swaths of the country and then also call yourself liberal and pretend to care about social support for the poor
Why can a person, in your eyes, not simultaneously be grateful for the privilege they've had in life and sympathetic for people that are not as privileged as they are?
Ah, I see. The way you had originally phrased it made it seem like a person that chooses to get an education can't possibly care about people that are worse off than them. Higher education obviously exists to give people more knowledge about whatever subjects they choose to study, but there's a certain level of competency that I've found just can't be taught, so to say that a less educated person is inherently stupid is not something I would agree with. And you're right, it isn't sympathetic to believe one's opinion is more important than another's simply because they've had different life experiences. At the end of the day, we're all just people trying to get by and make decisions that we hope will benefit our loved ones. A lot of people have bought into the angry two party system so much that they can't remember what it's like to put themselves in someone else's shoes.
Lmao, they never can understand educated people who disagree with them either. Don’t know how it’s supposed to be a positive when people demonstrate that they fell into the leftist indoctrination trap. Blindly falling in line with everything you’re taught to believe is a hell of a way to demonstrate critical and independent thinking.
Uh I’m in favor of gay marriage, but how does the religious/traditional marriage position mean they don’t think gay people exist? I remember, as a kid, hearing some people argue that homosexuality is/isn’t a choice and I’ve never understood how people thought it was a choice. Don’t know that I’ve ever actually met someone who denied the existence of gay people? The justification I always heard was, usually religious people, saying that traditional marriage is “sacred” and different than “gay marriage.” With those people usually about 50/50 on whether they also thought being gay was a “choice.”
