Yes you have to consider who you're talking to but I think a lot of us are ready to talk about patching the hole.

As a radical leftist I'm certainly not against bailing the boat, I just acknowledge that this is a temporary solution. Like, minimum wage needs to be high enough that people can work a reasonable number of hours, afford rent, and still have time to read Marx.

The minimum wage hike is still important, it's just not the end game. If you're saying you're not interested in patching the hole, that sounds like a problem. If you're saying "this hole won't be patched for a while, but some day we'll get there. In the meantime, bail like hell." then, we are comrades.
