i agree. the left should promote working class solidarity, which of course means making space for views that harm *checks notes* nearly half the working class
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

liberal/leftist media is definitely doing their silliest racism over Jasmine Crockett, but this is a syndicated story from the daily caller, Tucker Carlson's news site

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."
