  It’s not trivial to do but if you’re not willing to do the work, shut up.

    I’m trying to convey that if selling people to be a decent person fails then they’re so far lost.

      well your moral purity doesn’t matter because this is politics. the decisions we make about our society fall into grey areas and tough decisions. you don’t want to do that work you don’t have to, but you’re part of the problem if you think you’re being a decent person right now by grousing about indecency.

      a moral vision isn’t enough, there must be a practical one, and if you’re useless in that endeavor, have the grace to stay out of politics.
