> First, the people I listen to who have talked about ‘walking away’ from the left are not walking away from ‘liberalism’. In fact, they are leaving the left because they are enlightenment liberals who believe the left has become illiberal, abandoning traditional left-wing beliefs like free expression, free speech, free trade, staying out of people’s bedrooms and tolerance of intellectual diversity, and instead have embraced hard left socialist economics and identity politics.

Interesting. Who is he talking about?

That whole list is bonkers, but I’ll focus on Jordan Peterson.

Jordan Peterson? Canadian, conservative, transphobic Jordan Peterson? That’s who the Dems have to worry about walking away?

Pull the other one, it’s got bells on it.
