I can’t really follow this. I think “liberals” (in the USian sense of the word) generally really care about people’s problems. There can be a huge disconnect between a mostly urban highly-educated and well-connected elite and the people who they think they are helping that can mean they are implementing things that don’t help. Plus even if there was no disconnect, sometimes people just do things badly.
If you take an example like the ACA it was created to try to help people who were suffering because they lacked access to healthcare. Did it help those people? Certainly many, but it’s kind of a bad way to run healthcare so it caused some problems for others. I mean, you can debate whether it was good policy or not, but if you’re taking the position that an attempt to get more people healthcare was created out of a lack of caring then I find that hard to swallow.
What makes you feel like people with progressive policies don’t care?
