Democratic socialists do not idealize the " people of the Abyss "

As a supporter of " democratic socialism " -and not out of touch with crude " reality ' - I do not idealize the " people of the Abyss ". I think the socialist fight against abject poverty- poverty made unpleasantly visible by these less than charming panhandlers -is less utopian than any program of character reform.

The " right to life " goes way beyond respect for life in the womb. There is a natural right to a HOME and a useful place in society.

For profit capitalism is increasingly antagonistic to human dignity.

The Hillary Democrats have turned their backs on the American working class -which includes the very poor and the unemployable.
