Have any of you ever heard of the concept of political capital?

You are endowed with a bit of political capital and earn more throw your experiences, etc. You can spend it as you wish. Sometimes you can squander it.

Saying the word "niggardly" is racist was squandering political capital. There were so many other issues to spend that political capital on.

Constantly saying blacks are sensitive and can't handle blackface is squandering political capital.

This isn't even an issue of right or wrong anymore, as much as it is turning into a redundant waste.
