There are people I struggle to understand why or how they are listened to by anybody. This guy is one of those people.

Well before he started doing political stuff. He was also renowned for being a disgusting moron, so the political side he picked makes sense.

I may have an unfairly uncharitable view, but that’s not what I believe he meant. If he did, I would withdraw my smarm.
Take all of your things and get out.
Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.worksto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•‘Silly’: Former. Dem Senator Chides His Party's Refusal to Endorse the NYC Mayoral Candidate81·11 days agoI think it is likely that the implied compromises would be made with the capital class, not the working class. That’s the distinction I was aiming for and deriding. In keeping with that line of thought: if corporations are people, then I suppose yes, other people.

If your platform is people first, which his seems to be, who would the compromise be with, exactly?

What would you have a normal person who likely can’t afford to miss much in the way of work do? I am asking sincerely.
Outside of throwing everything away to Luigi it up, I’m not sure what a single person could hope to accomplish.
Even considering the protests, which one would think have had enough people to accomplish something an individual could not… what exactly are they to do that would make things better? Seems like the nonviolent protests are just being ignored to me, but even if they were violent, what exactly are they to direct it towards?
It’s a thing I have been wondering in the face of the calls to “do something”, and I don’t know the answer to what this “something” is.
