The idea is that nobody should be denied necessary healthcare, regardless of immigration status

All of this is moot because we don’t have universal coverage, but if we did we would have to allow that undocumented immigrants, tourists, and others would have at least some guaranteed access to care

If in aggregate under certain ideological presumptions technology is a leveler, maybe you have a hard question

But it’s far easier to answer if you ask who is most exposed to technology’s more oppressive applications and/or negative externalities

Wouldn’t the communitarian argument counter that communities are not only geographic but also social and economic such that things like LGBTQ+ people moving to cities or the great migration is pretty explainable?

The thing, too, about saying Dems should run pro-abortion candidates in red states, or abandon "woke" and trans rights, is that it's easy to suggest *someone else* in the coalition sacrifice core protections.

But which core protections are white male Dems willing to sacrifice?
