If your actions, and the results thereof, are indistinguishable from your opposition’s… you might have luxury beliefs.
For example: If your opposition lobbies to block affordable housing construction because they don’t want poor people living near them; and you lobby to block the same affordable housing construction because it didn’t meet some standard you set (i.e. not enough units) — the result is the same. You and your opposition both worked together to block affordable housing. The only difference is you get to fee self righteously smug about it. The other guy doesn’t even think about it anymore.
