(10,173 posts)44. what "rationality" and "evidence" are you asking for in this context?
I am not in favor of purity tests, just broad agreement on where we move forward.
I repeat this post has context.
The OP is saying that if ever there needs to be a purity test for progressivism it should include the concerns of LGBT, Women, Minorities and economic concerns should not take higher priority. I know you cannot possibly be suggesting that progressivism should not include marginalized groups.
The OP uses strong language but that's what he's saying - that progressivism must include those voices else it is not progressivism.

Sounds like you've jumped to conclusions that have nothing to do with the OP
