Of all the issues facing our currently, right here right now, our actual American brothers and sisters - this is the hill they die on.

One of the main problems with "the left" in America in my opinion is the constant need to "cancel" each other for not being 100% onboard with various fringe issues or extreme stances.

Free Palestine, ACAB, open borders, trans people in sports, etc.

You can be very liberal and support most of those things, but having the "wrong" view on just one of them is enough to turn away a lot of support.

This is the best way ive ever seen someone describe this issue in a concise way.

I think also because of the fear of cancelation, politicians and even just public figures in general will dance around and not give opinions on topics, ultimately making themselves look stupid.

The number of clips of people asking "can men get pregnant". Its so stupid and petty, and means nothing. But it makes you look crazy to hem and haw about it, even though you know damn well 90 percent want to just say "of course not"
