Asking any members on the Progressive Left on this board that disagrees with any of these.

1. Pro-choice (abortion rights)
2. LGBTQ+ rights
3. Transgender rights and gender-affirming care
4. Climate action / reducing fossil fuel use
5. Gun control
6. Universal healthcare
7. Higher taxes on the wealthy
8. Criminal justice reform
9. Racial equity I addressing systemic racism
10. Immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship
11. Labor unions and worker protections
12. Student debt relief
13. Affordable housing initiatives
14. Expanded voting access
15. Paid family and medical leave
16. Universal or subsidized childcare
17. Stronger social safety net programs
18. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives
19. Campaign finance reform (reducing money in politics)
20. Increased public education funding
21. Support for Palestinian rights (often accompanied by criticism of Israeli government policy)
22. Reparations for descendants of enslaved people
23. Police reform or reducing police funding in some form
24. Opposition to most military interventions overseas
25. Eliminating or greatly reducing the use of fossil fuels on an accelerated timeline

My point is this. If you are on the Progressive Left and Woke and disagree with any one of these you are ostracized.

I can sit here all day long and bring up a few of the things on this list that my Conservative friends on the Right agree with. No ostracism. Maybe a spirited debate. But nothing approaching the unhinged sometimes violent push back behavior on the Progressive Left.

One of endless perfect examples. I present you Scott Wiener.

26. Oppose Trump at every turn no matter how ridiculous your stance is.

You forgot to include abolish ICE, Open Borders, and Immediate halt to deportations of criminal illegals.

Your list is too long and they don't actually care about any of those things.

Leftist checklist as follows:

1. I hate republicans.
2. I hate people who are more attractive than me.
3. I hate people who are smarter and more successful than me.
4. I am going to vote for the team that attacks and takes from those people.


That is literally it.

Yea, that really is what it boils down to. "The merit system is unfair to underachievers". Well, yea, i guess it kinda is. Especially those that are born with some sort of handicap. But, we also cant lower standards across the board to reward everyone. More harm is done to the country in the long run when nothing is achieved. Everyone can't have a yacht in the Mediterranean. You can make a fortune in this country if you actually try. You should at least strive to make a better life for your children than you had. Most unhappy liberals i see come from decent middle class families, they got good grades in school and went to college, then things weren't handed to them, because they got a stupid major, or they watch tv and smoke weed every weekend. And they won't live in a house less nice than their parents house. So it's obviously the government's fault that they are no longer special and are "unsuccessful".

American Influencer?? Jackson Hinkle?? I have never heard of this guy and have no idea who he is or why he is an "influencer". Sorry but I do not "do things" or "buy things" based upon what some complete stranger happens to tweet or post on facebook.
