It's bizarre how many people decry the Democratic party's abandonment of progressive policies—a real problem—but also consistently attack progressive policies. :shrug:

Our side lost because of the intolerance of the ‘tolerant left’. If you don’t see that, then we will keep losing.
People didn’t vote for Trump, they voted against you.
They voted against your “if you don’t agree with me then you’re my enemy” mentality.
They voted against your need to have an echo chamber or risk being canceled.
They voted against being attacked for a difference in opinion.
They voted against being called pedos, racists, homophobes, Nazis simply for disagreeing with you.
They voted for the right to keep YOU out of decisions for their children.
They voted against having to walk on eggshells for fear of offending someone.

I don’t care who I piss off by saying this, step out of the tunnel vision and have a civil conversation with folks and take responsibility for your part in pushing people, who are on the fence, to vote against you.

And here come the ‘tolerant left’ to prove my point.

My Trump supporting friends didn’t abandon me because I voted left.

My friends on the left abandoned me for having Trump supporting friends.

No one wants to call it out because take a look at my comment sections from some of the left. they’re just comfortable being an echo chamber and don’t want to self reflect and take accountability.

You do realize this is textbook Trump and GOP rhetoric too, right? Goose, meet gander.
