> when you're in an existential fight, is it really that important that you use the limited attention of the public to fight for the rights of a single person? Yes. That's what rights are. If we don't support them for one person, we don't have them for any person. | ||

> Yes. That's what rights are. If we don't support them for one person, we don't have them for any person. That's not the question that was asked. The question is whether it is wise to dilute your message when the message is warning of existential threat? The binary question of fighting for a rights was never contended. The question was weighting that specific right against an existential threat. There's more nuance here than you're willing to admit (hence the resounding loss of the left). | ||
