It seems like now is a good time to have a conversation about finding common ground between the various factions of left/progressive folks. I know this isn’t a new topic but maybe it’s worth revisiting.

What are the sticking points and what can we all agree on in the context of current-day politics?

Adding some things I think any leftist should be able to agree on:

  • Capitalism has been a strong negative influence on human existence

  • People who look, act and live differently from you deserve exactly the same human rights as you, even if they make you uncomfortable

  • Health care, food, water, and housing are human rights

      That’s a good way to look at it. You don’t herd cats, you show them something they want and they’ll herd themselves independently :)

        The problem is that, while getting there, all the cats tear themselves to pieces for not being cat enough to really want it.
