3) these values are contradictory to what the rights stand, especially the republican party under trump, from here on now refered to as "Trumpists" - a new, US brand of Fascism.
Say; Make america great again. Ignoring hereby that Obama restored the economy which was hurt by Bush
Which is why everbody who disagrees is a bad person inherently, without giving arguments *WHY*

Muslim ban, saying Shithole Countries, the Migrant Caravan, Build the Wall, Mexico "doesn't send their best" - even though Mexico doesn't send anyone.
Rallying people behind hatred of refugees, who also pay taxes and don't get anything from it (net worth +)
are you white, male, cis, hetero, christian & feel disinfanchised because others want rights you have? you're more likely to vote for Trump because of an irrational fear of retaliation. https://t.co/GWtxUNep6q

-Fake news / "Alternative" Facts just for examples.
There are no alternative facts, just facts and fiction.
The news can misrepresent things but HAVE to correct if they do so. If they hurt your feelings, its not their fault.

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.
Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.
I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.
But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.
Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.
I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing
