This will upset some, but it needs to be said.

People keep asking when the right will wake up and denounce their worst reactionaries.

It’s not same scale, but progressives have a similar challenge. When will we stop letting our most reactive, anonymous people define us?

I’m a progressive. So much so, I ran for congress on universal health care, working class economics, addressing structural racism, and legalized marijuana and sex work.

The difference isn’t in our ideals, it’s in our behavior

I do not know a single person doing actual work on the left that doesn't have some degree of trauma from abuse by our own side.

Here’s the truth. Your behavior has destroyed the mainstream perception of progressives. We’re not seen as champions of the working class.

We’re seen as a bunch of self-righteous assholes. You are in the business of dividing us over the most petty nonsense
