Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota is leaving his position in House Democratic leadership over his party’s support of President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection bid.
How can you truly fight for the working class when you lived a life of extreme privilege?
That’s ridiculous. Can someone not fight for LGBTQ rights of they aren’t part of the community? For POC rights if they aren’t POC? For women’s rights if they aren’t a woman?
I’m a well-off middle-aged white male, I guess I should just give up my convictions about how people should be treated equally and fairly. And when I say “equally” I also mean taking into account generational privileges and opportunities that are not received equally by all people.
I get your point, but I don’t think it applies to this specific situation. My point is that I don’t believe that anyone from the wealthy or ruling class can genuinely advocate for people within the working class. That would have a direct negative impact on their own self interests. I can be straight, and still advocate for LGBTQ rights without that having a negative impact on me.

It’s bullshit anyway, AOC’s background is the definition of working class, this dude is just in here spewing bullshit propaganda.
I am not spewing bullshit propaganda, I was mistaken and already realized and admitted that well before you made this comment.

But fuck me, right?
Fellow cishet white male nerds assemble! Let’s discuss how there’s just nothing we can do. We can have our servants feed us grapes if we get bored.
