He might be an asshole, but he's not entirely wrong. I think conservatives tend to be more heartless, but liberals tend to be more apathetic (very generally speaking). Is it worse to not care at all or to care but not enough to actually do anything to change the situation?

Just imagine if every liberal person freely donated some amount that would be taken by the government in plans they can't get passed? We have the power as a people to organize, fund, etc. Maybe conservatives would see the good that these donations do and be impressed to contribute in kind.

I just think we could all do better as a people collectively in every aspect.
