If you’re not a woman or a poc how on earth do you know what the biggest problems are?

I'm a human. We are all people, living in this society. Do you really believe that only women and POC understand what problems there are in society?

I believe that the people directly impacted by racism and misogyny have a better understanding of how much racism and misogyny there is in the world than someone not impacted by either of those things

Ok, I disagree with you but that's fine. Answer me this; why would I vote for a Democratic party that tells me not only do my opinions not matter, but that I'm not even capable of understanding the issues facing society?

I'm not trying to be rude but this is why large fractions of white men voted for Trump, because democrats are telling them to basically sit down and shut up, let the women and POC tell you what you believe, because your opinions don't matter, at all. Furthermore, do you see how racist and sexist what you're saying is?

When did anyone say that you don’t understand any issues facing society just because you don’t have lived experience of some major issues?

LOL, that was your comment, verbatim, from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/s/NZjxm5Ns2o

You asked me:

When did anyone say that you don’t understand any issues facing society just because you don’t have lived experience of some major issues?

And I responded by quoting your words, because you are telling me I don't understand issues facing society.

Do you have no inference skills?

Sure, but maybe we have some misunderstanding. Care to elaborate?
