      Not to ever be a Florida apologist in my entire life, but hating homeless people crosses party lines.

      California dems jumped at taking away homeless camps. Not helping them, just destroying the camps. Claim victory, homeless move a few blocks over, or the next town over, without their stuff. It’s like a South Park episode.

        I’m not saying that the democratic party is good on this front. I’m saying that the republican party, the ruling party of Florida is built on hate, and it’s biting them in the ass.

        Yeeep. Boy howdy, White Democrats^TM like to avoid feeling uncomfortable. That’s where they draw their progressive line.

      It’s not about good ideas, it’s about what works.

      It’s funny when the best way to defeat hateful right is to look at right-wing ideas without emotion and prejudice.

      Find what makes them work to attract people and form parties. Find the most general subset of that you can coexist with. Incorporate it. Doesn’t work? Look for remaining differences. And so on. Evolution. Survival of the fittest.
