I'm an informed, white, male Democrat and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

It’s not always in the news but I’ll share an article by a democrat that summarizes a lot of the positions: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-ideas-that-are-resh...

those opinions (your privileged) become “shut up” and “you should be ashamed” in public discourse (I’ve seen it)

Your welcome to search for the reverse racism and DEI lawsuits if you think this does not impact people in practice

That's a random journalist, what the hell does he have to do with the democratic party and "the left"?

Because to them people on Twitter and the DNC are the same thing.

Another ad hominem attack vs addressing substance

What substance? Random people's opinions online are not representative of whole political parties or movements or groups of people....

Hell, pro-Trump people were crying foul when the words of an opening act for Trump were associated with Trump and friends (that Puerto Rico is an island of garbage), this is infinitely more unrelated.

The article summarizes the positions of the Left, by a Left-leaning news org. The article is not about the positions of the the journalist. What more do you want? Harris's isn’t going to write this herself

You're taking an opinion piece summarising viewpoints people on the left are supposedly favourable to as the official position of a political party in the opposite way (e.g. you seem to think that agreeing that there is institutional sexism against women means that you want to be sexist against men or that men in general should be shamed for being men, which is, of course, bullshit).

If you have this absurd stance, what do you think about the literal words of high profile republican politicians? JD Vance comparing Trump to Hitler? Trump misquoting Mein Kampf? Trump saying he'll deport 20 million people? Trump expressing violent misogyny (grab them right by the pussy)? Trump saying he'll save women if they want it or not? Blatant racism against black and latino people?

Those are direct positions of the actual candidates. Wildly more representative than an opinion summary by a journalist.

That's actually a really interesting article, thanks.

No idea if it was written by a democrat tough, I mean it might be, but that's not important.

> those opinions (your privileged) become “shut up” and “you should be ashamed” in public discourse (I’ve seen it)

Yes, aren't those the extremists online? So what? I have never ever heard Harris or Biden talk like that.
