I only object to one thing in what he says:
They're the same thing. It's not like some people's rights are an optional extra. Either everyone has basic rights or no one does. And that's why it should be central to the political platform: abandoning it is abandoning your commitment to basic human rights, which should be pretty foundational.
Dude, we can't get the majority of Americans to say civil rights are basic human rights after 60 years.
Speak to Americans at their level man.
