Gotta agree here. In terms of endorsing human rights, Dems have a far superior record to the GOP. However, it’s their motivation that I question. Since most Dems are beholden to their corporate donors, their motivation is “freedom of consumption,” that is, giving access of consumption to marginalized groups to maximize profits. I wonder how much of it is a genuine concern for human rights.

It also explains how Dems don’t go far enough or fight hard enough when it comes to marginalized groups.

I’ll take a win regardless of the motivation, but it’s interesting to investigate the underlying motivations.
