I appreciate your thorough articulation of progressiveness. I see what you are saying.

In terms of righteousness, I think the error you are making is you are (possibly implicitly) assuming people who are more conservative than you like starvation and people dying from lack of medical care which isnt true at all. I dont want people to starve to death. I just dont think people starving in South Sudan is any more honorable than people starving in America. You do. There is no correct opinion out of those.

Actually not at all. I am very globalist minded. Also I am not assuming anything - it is about what you choose to not comment on. Ted Cruz went to Cancun while people were dying and instead of using his influence to raise awareness, money, or to pull strings to get things accomplished. AOC raised 5 million dollars for the people of Texas who she technically does not directly represent because she cares.

I am a believer in the phrase 'charity starts at home.' I am 100% on board with the goal that not a single person should go to bed hungry in this entire world. Like, no disagreement at all. However if we cannot accomplish that within our own borders first then I see no evidence we could ever accomplish it other countries as well. You for sure misunderstand my opinion on things if you believe I think anyone starving is honorable. It is the reason why I wish to tax billionaires to old standards so that we can use that money to take care of our citizens and then as a prosperous nation use money we no longer need to provide for the health of our citizens to benefit the broader world until no one is starving. Unfortunately we cannot get past step one because 0 republicans voted to raise people out of starvation wages.
