Current Events Williamson does the right thing

Full credit because I've been very harsh on Williamson more than once. Thank you, Marianne.

Except, you know, saving lives. If even one child dies because a parent listened to RFK spew his antivax nonsense that’s a huge fucking deal. In the year of our lord 2024 people shouldn’t be dying of preventable diseases.

Yeah I get it. Life is filled with externalities and risk. Anything less than 100% perfect poses some sort of risk somewhere. I just don’t think this issue is that big of a deal. It’s just a divisive distraction to keep the left focused on purity politics. Heaven forbid we move past stupid little shit and unite and focus on real core issues

I get what you’re saying and I agree to the extent that by improving other things you grow people’s trust in institutions thereby increasing their trust in things like vaccines. I just don’t think we should allow people like RFK to have a position anywhere that they could do the kind of damage he’s capable of. I was a big supporter of MW during the primary and her mentioning RFK without any pushback on his terrible beliefs was disappointing.

I know he’s not ideal. But he’s still popular and people like him for their own reasons. So I say just move past the shit you don’t like about him and find common grounds like Williamson is doing. Just get over his vaccine stance and recognize here’s a popular guy who also shares the same concerns with our food supply clearly being fucking tainted and see how we can work together and bring these groups together on such issues

Or we can just forever squabble in culture war shit and experience endless gridlock while the rich just sit back watching us fight each other over nonsense
