File this under: never expect someone who is misled to learn the right lesson, ever.

It kind of does though? It is like the inverse of the Nazis at a table story. If a Nazi stands at the door to keep Jews out and liberals are inside dining but don't ever talk about the Jews or invite a Jewish person in then it really does call into question what they are against the Nazis for.

Who gets to say what is a fringe issue though? Is Gaza a fringe issue? What about universal healthcare? When we let corporations frame the debate, they will always ask us to sacrifice our own to save ourselves but never the billionaire class.

Thank you for saying this. You have people telling you the leadership is turning people off and your response is to blame those people for why your party is so unpopular. I think I better understand why Gen Z is actually more conservative than us millennials.

The Roman empire was putting to death many prophets and god incarnates. The innovation of the Jesus story was that he didn't stay dead, but he also conveniently didn't stick around.

All that talk of businesses getting him to pullback was just wishful thinking?
