Of course not, but he's already demonstrated himself to be an unabashed racist, so I have no interest in having him representing the United States as our president.Circled Square wrote:y the way, I hate the emotional aspect of genocides, or people killing people throughout history in general.
Yes, heaven forbid we have any sympathy or empathy for those who were mercilessly slaughtered by people who wanted to steal their land and believed them to be less than human.

I have a big problem with this twist on things. This is the sort of thing someone who says "I'm a social liberal but a fiscal conservative" would say.
Social issues are very much intertwined with foreign policy and fiscal issues. The way a person feels and acts on social issues is a pretty good indicator of how they'll feel and act on foreign policy and fiscal issues, and vice versa.
You can't separate social issues from other issues. They're inseparable. They feed into each other.
Learning to have empathy with people who are underrepresented and underserved in society can directly translate to the kind of solutions we present in terms of economics, education, infrastructure, foreign policies and more. You can't talk about how to solve racism and segregation of city neighborhoods, for example, without talking about how we fund education, how we fund and lay out infrastructure and stuff like that.
In the end, economic issues ARE social issues. If racism is at the bottom of your list when it comes to government, then 1) you fail to see the intersectionality of social and fiscal issues and 2) you're contributing to the problem of inequality in this country.

Circled Square wrote:Equality is a lie, what it really about is poor people vs. rich people. We are slaves to money. Now you can't fix that by taxing the rich people to death, because they'll move, and pull their business ventures out of America.
