standing with the weak is not an opinion, it's not a feeling, it's not a conviction. it's not an opportunity to be self-righteous, or demonstrate you're a part of the elect.

standing with the weak means designing and implementing policies that will actually be effective in protecting them, and it is nothing more and nothing less than that.

nothing that our governments have forced us to do has been effective, and it is therefore not real solidarity - real solidarity is promoting policies that actually work.
