I really think we need a new group for people who don't believe in systemic bias. There are a lot of people here who would join.
Nope, you’ve lost me here. I definitely believe in systemic bias, but also think those AEM posters are bullies and detrimental to their cause in the way they steamroll every conversation.

To clarify, I agree that there’s obviously systemic bias. I don’t think those posters are bullies, and I think their pain and frustration is understandable, however, I do not think turning on each other helps advance justice. I think this strategy works to target leaders, like we don’t need to be polite to Kristen Njielsen when she wants to go out to dinner while kids are being kept in cages. BUT it’s a very different thing to respond to a private citizen who self-identifies and a Democrat for either expressing support for a moderate Democratic candidate or questions the tactics or motives of the other Democratic candidate. I think I may vote Tafti, but I am still unhappy about the smearing of Stamos. Just run on the issues! Especially when it’s another Democrat. Save the vitriol for Republicans. We need to maintain a big tent to win, people!
Problem is in the cages, they weren’t outraged and being impolite when this was happening during the Obama administration. Because it was. It isn’t like Trump took office and a government purchase order went out for cages. This is where I have no respect for their outrage and being impolite as you put it. Their outrage has no credibility with me. And, for the record, I am vehemently opposed to how they are housing illegal immigrants.

Real allies are not that fragile.
