More so than me? You've got me really open to hearing you out the gate with the ad hominen. Cool. You missed the part where I'm the one raising him to be this person. But kids are no reflection on those who raise them I suppose.

"The academic left" are out of touch progressives that speak like everything is academic and about philosophical principle, while alienating the actual minority groups they claim to speak for. (E G. I got on board with LatinX and every single Latino/Hispanic friend "outside the movement" fucking hates it.)

You don't know me. You don't know that I've alienated myself and lost friendships over participating in being the elitist sociology major in the office.

You don't know I've been an activist for almost 30 years. In real life. With a bullhorn in my real hand. Talking to real people. Not on the Internet. Save the lecture for someone who needs it please. This is the problem with self proclaimed leftists. You always fuck with your comrades and push them away, while bitching that average Dems should be spending time persuading Trumpers to switch sides instead of working together on practical solutions to stopping fascism and solidifying democracy so we can actually work on things like universal healthcare, minimum living wage, ending citizens united, repairing the supreme court, reminding cops they're the 99% and breaking up the gestapo, stopping mortgage derivatives from coming back worse than '09, regulation off big business, anti trust, codifying Roe etc etc etc etc bc Genocide Joe.

Edit: actually, you suck. I tried to hold back that and put down my anger over that first comment. But I just reread my original upvoted by the community comment.. and you suck. I'm out here talking about supporting trans kids of color and teaching it to five year olds in public school, and debunking stereotypes about bigotry and bias in minority communities. You picked me of all people on this site to lecture with that shit? I'm sorry man, you kinda suck. A lot.
