You get it. Too many of the holier than thou other white lefties I know do NOT get it.

It’s what infuriates me about the Berniacs and the purity pony folks who think that single-payer will solve everything. Would it be nice? Yes. Is it worth fighting for? Yes! is it worth ignoring every single other issue we have to hold the line on because the GOP is busy rolling every-fucking-thing back to 1850? No!! If you want to be a party for the people, you have to be a party for the especially marginalized, and that includes PoCs in a time where it’s clear that the WH is intent on demonizing them in particular!

I mean, I get just as pissed about the centrist scolds who have been treating Antifa as somehow a worse threat than fucking Nazis because of the strain to give the right some weird benefit of the doubt they haven’t earned yet (like, you know, Maggie Thrush and Glenn Haberman do with Trump…don’t @ me, I’m not convinced they’re separate people anymore). And that’s why I’m pissed when I see this bullshit about ‘Identity Politics’ coming from both sides of the firing line, the newest boogeyman because “Politically Correct” somehow isn’t scary enough anymore.
