    You, like oh so many people, are incorrectly and harmfully putting social progress on the same axis as economic progress, when it is its own axis. And there’s no logical debate that can be had about the social (or Z) axis; one side is bigotry, the other is acceptance. The fact that we tolerate the mere existence of any bigoted politician is a monumental failure of our society, let alone that we allow an entire wing use bigotry as their identity.

    When it comes to the X axis of politics, one wing is capitalism, the other communism. This is the only left vs right comparison that should matter; capitalism with a rainbow sticker is still right wing.
