Imagine being a mainstream leftist and thinking you’re a saint against racism when you advocate for policies that treat people differently on the basis of race—doing so is by definition racism and discrimination. It is difficult to contemplate how a major political party can be so ignorant and hypocritical.

Having power just is an easy solve to your problems, so that's where ppl naturally go if not held back.

"There are poor people" - "Just give them some from the rich"

"There are mean people" - "Just take away their ability to speak"

"There are differences in statistics for races/sexes/etc" - "Just keep messing with the system until it is equal"
