There are more technician jobs than engineering jobs and there are more engineering jobs than primary science positions. I'm not sure that should surprise anyone. How many pure mathematicians does global society actually need? Not that many. How many farmers or civic engineers or geologist does society need? A lot more than mathematicians.
I never said that. I was asking what that criteria would be. I so far haven't said anything about my own personal desire. Also I never specified it just being speech. It's just an open question to you individually what would be sufficient to be considered a worthwhile left leaning candidate. Honestly beyond my statement that some portion of people are always discontent and that I denounce genocide I really haven't said anything about my own personal views in any comments on this thread.
Toothless? Without knowing the goal how does one know in which direction to go? I haven't avoided it, I've blatantly denounced the current genocides as well as all others future or past. I don't even agree to genocides against people who would want to see a genocide again me and the people I care about.
I think more so my main point from the beginning until now is it seems some percentage of the population will always be discontent no matter what. No matter the candidate or the circumstance there will be that discussion that they are a fake or phony. Of course that lends itself well to asking what is sufficient, what's ideal, what is the goal.
The post did remind me of this behavior. I haven't seen a candidate (left or right) where there isn't a vocal group displeased with them, generally stating they are a fake, phony, or haven't gone far enough. If something or someone is insufficient then it's natural to ask what or who is sufficient.
I think I've personally already done so not just for one genocide but all the current genocides as well as any other. Now I have a sneaking suspicion that alone is still insufficient. What else do you dream of in a left representing candidate? What do you believe would be sufficient such that one doesn't really hear the argument they're a fake or phony? What is the goal exactly.
My intention was to point out this eternal discontent that some people seem to have regardless of the circumstance. You said it was a denial of genocide, I disagreed. The general question at hand is what actually is sufficient. What does an ideal left candidate look like to you?
I've disagreed with your view. Honestly the post reminded me of this general behavior humans seem to have and it's a worthwhile discussion to ask what actually is sufficient. If something is insufficient then what is, what is the goal such that one is content? To know what direction to move one must first know the intended goal. What does a left candidate look like such that no one or at least the vast majority feel they are left enough.

Firstly I would appreciate less offensive language, we can discuss like civil adults. Secondly I disagree with your opinion. I do not support any genocide much less the active genocides. What I said isn't in the defense of anyone. It's more so a general statement about human behavior. If you want to make it into something more than I intended then you are free but I won't agree to it personally.
Sidebar, I'm a big fan of a minimal life aka having as little stuff as possible. My truck can hold all my stuff for a one trip move. If I didn't have that then there's the $20 daily van rentals which are honestly going to be like $60 all said and done. If I couldn't afford a deposit and first months rent on an apartment then I could rent a room. I've also been tempted to get a cheap trailer for an RV park. Finally there's the option of taking on a roommate. In college we had two people to each room and a guy with a makeshift wall renting the living room. Is it glamorous? Hell no. Could things be better? Hell yeah. Is it better than living out of my truck or on the street? Most definitely.
My point is pretty much what I've said. That is no matter the circumstance there will be a portion of the population who will say not enough has been done, that a candidate isn't X or Y enough. I feel like I'm now just repeating my statements.
I hear this complaint no matter the individual in question. One can similarly see the same behavior on the right as well. No matter how right or authoritarian an individual is there's some portion who think they aren't right or authoritarian enough. I think it's more so a human behavior than anything about political philosophy.
I'm implying that no matter who the person is some will say they aren't left enough. You see the same on the right, no matter how extremely right or authoritarian someone is there's some on the right who say they're not right or authoritarian enough.
