So ... you're saying that, as long as one marginalized group loses right, all marginalized groups should lose theirs as well? Because those are the people who are going to be affected the most.

A party that bargains away rights 1) doesn’t understand the nature of rights, 2) shouldn’t expect—let alone demand—the support of those whose rights they’ve bargained away, and 3) deserves to sit outside of power until they understand points 1 and 2.

A party? That's what all this is about for you? Do you even care about people and how this affects their lives?

Lives are ALL I care about. It would be nice if blue MAGA felt the same.

Since ALL you care about lives (and not at all political parties), surely you would vote even for an asshole like Newsom, if not voting for him would make people's lives worse. Right?

Voting for Newsom would make some lives worse. I’m not getting behind that even if it makes my life better. When it comes to basic rights, I don’t make trades like that anymore. You do you, I suppose, but stop acting shocked/offended when people with greater moral clarity stick to their principles.

So you care about other people's lives, but you just care about your own principles more. Fair enough.

Kill/Harm one to save … how many? Where do YOU balance those scales? Principles establish a consistency that is the foundation of one’s politics. Without them, all you’ve fighting for is to “win” at the expense of the most marginalized.

So just watching as many are being killed/harmed, because trying to save at least some would not be consistent? Maintaining one's politics at the expense of the most marginalized? I'd just be repeating my previous post here.
