    It’s funny that my views are apparently extremely unpopular around here because they seem fairly mainstream IRL even among my friends who are all going to vote for Harris. I don’t think I would offend anyone by saying something similar at a group dinner (though some people might disagree) but I would be a little more circumspect and feel out the audience first if there were people I didn’t know. Different bubbles, I suppose…

        I don’t think helping people is a bad thing. I’m generally in favor of a relatively high level of help (I vote for centrist Democrats, not Republicans) but I think that sometimes it is justified and appropriate to help less rather than more.
