What he's saying is only people who have actually experienced the hardship are qualified to protest against it. He used a lot of other words but that's what it boils down to.

apparently you didn't read many more of those words

" i'm not saying he doesn't get a say, i'm just saying that it falls flat. "

No, I read that. Saying it falls flat insinuates you don't take it seriously because he didn't actually experience it.

he not experiencing it is only but a small reason it falls flat as evidenced by the whole other slug of reasons listed (still not reading all the words?). many of those not his fault but it what it is. especially if it were to be compared to someone ACTUALLY dealing with and living the problem.
