Abdul El-Sayed: “We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism. If you’re a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system for you so you make more money and you ex out every other market in which you compete. You need good healthcare. You need a good education. We need childcare. We need good roads and bridges. We don’t need to send our money to big corporations to subsidize them, we need to be invested in people so they have the human capital to be able to do all the things as they graduate and come out”

Educating others is not necessarily hard work, it's just steady and tedious. Liberals treating theory like it's fundamentally alien and therefore not worth engaging with is endlessly frustrating, but it's not an unwinnable battle (not that you made it seem that way).
