It’s a binary thinking that Kendri and Trump have emphasized — you’re either with us or against us. No equivocating.

I know having these straw men is comforting to you, but I'm about as woke as they come, I embrace wokeness and think it is a good thing. Yet I'm the example you use of someone who doesn't fit your bias.
One of the things I love about the left is that it is more self-critical than the rest of you. I think, actually, this conversation is a fine example of that.
But enjoy fighting the straw people.
