(3,280 posts)It's hard for progressives vs. regressives. Progressives have this habit of all being progressive in their own direction. There are so many ways to go forward. Rights for POC, rights for women, rights for LGBTQ+, rights for immigrants, rights for the poor. There are so many fights that all go in different directions, so it's super hard to get a bunch of liberals pointing in the same direction for any amount of time. Regressives, on the other hand, can be pretty single-minded. Just go backwards. It's easy to get regressives all moving back in the same direction.
Here's another post from me back in 2014:

where I try to articulate something similar. It's hard. It's complicated. There are too many facets to count.
