Okay. So maybe some people go to far, or misinterpret, or overreact, or misunderstand, etc. That kind of stuff can happen. But the existence of these sorts of mistakes doesn’t mean that there’s a larger pattern, or something sinister or otherwise broken about modern progressivism in America. Sure, that’s what the right wing infotainers want us to think, but they regularly exaggerate and lie. Same with the professional aggrieved - those that have made a career of bullshitting about the American left (Greenwald, Taibbi, etc.).
You mentioned policy earlier. What are the policy impacts? What are the big, real world negative consequences that you appear to believe should be obvious to us all?
