Extremism ruins good political movements. Black Lives Matter was an excellent response to systematic disparities in criminal justice. Setting cities on fire stopped the public support that would have led to positive policy changes. Trans healthcare is an excellent goal. Expanding the mission to ferret out potential trans kids by evangelizing, confusing them about their gender and medicalizing doubt did incalculable harm to that goal. And urging caution with US involvement in the Middle East is an excellent goal. Expanding this to literally root for the Iranian Regime over Israel is definitional insanity. I know firsthand how deeply unrewarding it is to stand up to the extremes on the left. But we can’t get to any of the good ideas we have until we do. The extremists are killing the left and making us unelectable.
