(50,254 posts)The specific OP THIS OP was responding to was tonedeaf and clueless...and unrepresentative of much of anyone.
Ok...maybe 2 or 3% are saying the only thing that matters is class. That doesn't reflect the broad left consensus that includes almost everyone who supported either main primary candidate.
There's no large group of people on whatever you think of as the "far left" that questions the idea that we need to stand solidly in defense of choice OR that questions the idea that we need to speak out against and fight institutional and grassroots bigotry.
So the specific OP this OP responded to, and the words of one or two public figures, were worthy of call-outs, but this doesn't justify, for example, calling out everybody who's involved in Our Revolution or implying that the vast majority of people whose views are to the left of our most recent nominee or who are working for change within the party are collectively untrustworthy on social justice.
