It's also naming an enemy, which I find ominous. That was the first thing Trump did.
It defines such a narrow vision of what is socially acceptable liberalism that I dislike it as a diehard liberal because we need to build coalitions to win elections. Liberals win when the center votes with the left, and ostracizing moderates for having failed a purity test helps exactly none with that.
I don't believe in everything the left says tbh and I am more of bernie sanders -esque socialism left than the woke pronoun (no offense to anybody, just something that I consider to be of less importance than goddamn billionaires)
I believe that the left has this problem of taking small differences, amplifying them up 100x and then dividing the vote split.
I don't agree with the forklift guys in that aspect but uh I can understand their perspective tbh which was I wrote that comment.
