Each group is, at best, myopic to the trade offs they don't like. Hard left types like to think public opinion is infinitely malleable, financial trade offs are fake. Centrists are too willing to morally compromise. The current crop of right wingers don't even have an intellectual current, so.

We have allowed ourselves to believe that it's normal to have 4% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners. We have allowed prisons that violate multiple basic provisions of international humanitarian law. Our prisons are filled with people being literally tortured.

as it turns out, generally speaking, the current social structures in America seem designed to allow violence against the marginalized and even celebrate it. daniel penny might became rich on the right wing circuit. I think that's a far bigger problem than the UHC murder.
