right, my years of working in non-profits and in housing policy clearly mean i'm an ignorant fool. and some internet tough guy slinging insults is clearly smarter than me.
progressives shoot themselves in the foot constantly due to their lack of being unable to acknowledge the harshness of reality. they ignore evidence all the time because they are paranoid of being labeled racist or looking bad. they care more about the optics of pretending to care than they do about pragmatic solutions to social problems. and they overwhelming don't support effective policies because those policies when the policies don't fit their narrative that all human beings wonderful and good by default. they lack the balls to make hard choices in a world with finite resources and often just throw up their hands that make a choice that might upset someone, because they'd rather homeless people starve on the streets than their housing values drop slightly by allowing a homeless shelter to expand their bed capacity.
