You didn't even read what he said correctly man. I get class solidarity, but when someone uses their platform to speak truth to power and encourage systemic improvement it's not useful to bitch and bicker like this. It's a good thing, we should take it as a good thing and use that momentum. Not devolve into the infighting that makes our side so ineffective because we are all trying to be better people, and help each other be better. That makes us morally superior, but also makes it difficult to operate as an effective unit and play like a team, like the right does. They hate and they unify, they don't divide themselves like this over everything they can find. The fact that we do hold all of ourselves to a higher standard is a good thing, but we need to snap out of it before we let them win the country forever based on our lack of unity. Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good, especially in this historical moment
