The nearest abortion clinic – in Chicago – was too far away and too expensive for her mother to provide her with the procedure

    Yeah, look, man, I’m open to working with anyone in coalition, even if I disagree with them. That’s why I’m a liberal. People who call me a fascist for joining that kind of coalition, they aren’t open to working with me. I’ve interacted quite a lot with people like that. They don’t want collaboration, they want capitulation on every topic so they can dictate events. Except there’s five billion different ways that the various people in those communities want to dictate events, so there’s not even an avenue towards uniting people in a functional coalition.

      As a socialist (social democrat/true libertarian) ish I don’t totally disagree with you. However the question seemed pretty innocuous and even sincere. You came in a bit hot. I’ve done it too. And probably will do it again at some point. But when we do that it just drives us apart and causes everyone else to behave extremely too.

        I get what you’re saying. What I’m saying is that when someone has already decided that I’m the same as a Republican because I’m a social liberal, then there’s really not much of a point in anything beyond mocking them for being unrealistic and trying to play for the audience.
