(53,032 posts)How the country club set can save on their taxes while the poor go hungry? The issues you outline in that OP are all about the privileged. You are one that heralded the Neo-nazi piece of trash as a game changer for the "left." There is no left in the Aryan Nation. There is no left is slashing corporate taxes. There is no left in stripping Wall Street and the environment of all regulation. There is no left in turning all of healthcare over to the private sector. There is no left in allowing the state to exert absolute control over women's bodies and overturning the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Act. Those are all ultra-right wing views.
If you can't articulate opposition to US military intervention abroad and NSA surveillance without appeals to a right-wing shit bag, what is the point? Who would willingly associate themselves with an ultra-reich wing type like Paul? How does that advance an anti-interventionist or anti-security state position? We all might find some random shit bag that we agree with on an issue or two. So what? Why invoke someone like that and discredit yourself and the issues in the process?
No leftist will support Paul. Right-wing white male supremacists will support him because he articulates the values they share.
I'll take your scorn as a badge of pride. After that OP, you have no authority to condemn anyone.
