Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry

Purity testing.

If you don't align with the party narrative 100%, down to the atom, then you're basically maga.

I don't think people realize this is a major factor that drives people away from progressive politics.

When a conservative meets someone more conservative, they bitch about liberals. When a leftist meets someone more left than them they compete with each other to see who's most "pure."

This is a major problem.

    As a trans but Closeted person myself I hate when non trans allies speak over us for us without letting us actually speak and allies of other minorities speaking over the minorities they claim to support in the first place without letting that minority be involved is an actual problem
