Not on a dollar for dollar basis. Wall street stole hundreds of billions so they figure we should let blacks get it back from "we" at gun point, with a few home invasions ,rapes and murders.
I don't know what a leftist is or whether I am one. I'm assuming that leftist means a Democrat but I'm only registered Democrat. I don't know if I'd classify myself as one just mostly registered as one because I'm more anti Republican esp now that Trump is a candidate (so I guess I tend to be discussing it more now than I ever have). I'm not an avid fan of politics. For the most part they bore me. If I find a topic I can contribute in I will post it but as far as the financial aspects I tend to stay out of that part. You'll notice most of the topics in the politics section that I post about are generally vague.
But I don't identify with a lot of people so if I were to take your stance I would be even more anti social than I already am. On the deepest level I am the oddball but on shallow levels I can find plenty of people agreeing with me and if I really look I might find the odd soul that does agree with me on a more deep level so that's one reason why I am more sociable online because I am more apt to find people I can connect with to some degree as there are SO MANY people online. It's still not deep enough for me to say I really identify with anyone that is within my reach but it is something. Working to find your common ground doesn't have to be so literal. You don't have to actively find a common ground but just say your view and then see what happens. With oodles of people in this world you're bound to find at least one that you will have something in common with.
You can't pick your friends or family on the basis of politics.
I will say that I don't understand how my very liberal friends can be so very stupid and ignorant, and I have no problem telling them that. They do the same with me.
I'm pretty sure most of them will come around when they get jobs.
I know, I know--we are supposed to "find our shared humanity". And "work to find common ground".
But after many years of ignoring the sad truth, I have to admit: leftists and I do not HAVE any common ground. Not the most basic of values, no interests, no goals-----nothing.
This is hard for me to say, as I have several leftist family members.
(Oh, and I was a hardcore leftist myself for ten years or so... so I do know a bit about "both sides").
The Left has no interest in common ground. They aren't the Democratic Party of JFK anymore. They've become Stalinist bullies and BLM is their brownshirt army.
And yes calling folks "degenerate vermin" does say a lot about you. Its a fascinating way of putting things. Its a common way of trying to dehumanize those who you oppose. Again...saying more about you then about the people you are referring too.
Maybe you should reflect on what sort of person says things like that.

Sure you do. I'm sure you and some person on the left share the likes for the same food, music, celebrities, sport teams and athletes, cars, retail stores, supermarkets, vacation spots, pets, plants, TV shows and movies, and the list goes on.
This is how liberalism works. There are two white people . One white person swindles money from a blacks. The white person who took the money says "we" should do something about it and suggests I give them some money for what "we" did.
yeah, don't know why I can't get down with them....
That's exactly how liberalism racial identity politics works and liberalism in general. But it goes beyond swindling the other white persons out of resources. They use other groups as a biological weapon to completely disrupt the white genetic group..liberalism is working on the genetic level.
Interesting you bring up those values. Leftists no longer value traditional activities/interests: church (religion), education, etc.
I am a proud leftist and participate in many activities (book group, friends of the library, quilting group, exercise class, volunteer work)with other ladies of a certain age who are certainly very conservative. We don't agree at all about many things but we respect and are very fond of each other.
Oh, and I am also very active in my church. So let's not put folks in boxes with labels.
