    This is the American left’s equivalent of the right’s “common sense” - both are equally thought-terminating cliches.

      Except the left actually believes that every person has an innate dignity and doesn’t deserve to be starved on the street, while the right believes that every person has a duty to be dominated by their “betters.” That’s what those phrases mean.

      Totally the same thing, what an insight.

        Lol, no it isn’t, but your tribalistic mischaracterization is noted.
