Help with the Left-List?

Kate Braestrup February 10, 2017 85 COMMENTS

 

My strong impression is that there is far more ideological diversity on the right than on the left. The following is a list, in no particular order, of the beliefs/positions I think are held by virtually all progressives/liberals/Democrats (not just the Alt-Left). Am I missing anything? Should any of these be left off the list?1.) Sexism remains a very significant obstacle for women in America.

 

2.) Racism remains a very significant obstacle for Americans of color.

3.) Race-based affirmative action is necessary.

4.) Having a national minimum wage is good.

5.) Because of sexism and discrimination, women in America earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.

6.) To be white and male in America confers significant unfair advantage.

7.) Man-made climate change is a real and urgent problem.

8.) Muslim Americans are very likely to be the targets of hate crimes.

Things You Can’t Say Without Being Castigated

1. Nordstrom has every right to stop selling items that don’t sell well.

2. Vladimir Putin is a vicious thug. He is in every respect America’s moral inferior.

3. Yes, racism is still a real problem in America.

4. Donald Trump actually did lose the popular vote.

5. But voter fraud is indeed very real – not “nonexistent,” despite what so many in the media say with willful disregard for the truth.

6. It was perfectly sensible both as law and policy for critics to say, as U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions said and as the Supreme Court confirmed, that the Voting Rights Act unfairly and unconstitutionally singled out certain states and locales for extra, vexatious administrative burdens.

7. The original Violence Against Women Act was flawed in ways that had nothing to do with protecting women from violence.

8. Racism, while very real (see #3) is not nearly as much of a problem in America as the Left and paid agitators say it is.

9. It is extremely worrisome to read reports of a petulant President lashing out at allies such as Mexico, France, and especially Australia.
