To be fair the view of the right in this thread is pretty skewed too. Ascribing the attributes of of the fringes to the whole is rarely going to paint an accurate picture.  I'd expect you to also call that out when it is applied to the right ... but will you?

First: Media

Western media isn't full of leftists. Leftists are relatively rare in the Democratic party and just as rare in the mainstream media. Most of both of these groups tend to be in the political center, drifting towards center-left in some areas. This is a far cry from Leftism, which (as you may assume from the name) is to the left, not the center.

Second: Feminism

Most feminists on the left support trans rights. The ones that do not are often criticized by the left for their beliefs. Your TERFy implication that trans women are evil schemers out to destroy women is gross, and certainly not accepted among leftists. So, yeah, I'd say your view of feminism on the left is pretty broken. Women's rights and trans rights are not mutually exclusive, so holding both a concern for women's rights and trans rights is not contradictory.

Third: Muslims

It is interesting how you talk about "Sharia Muslims" in your first post, but pivot to "Muslim Americans" in your second as if they are the same thing. This feels like the type of Fox News brand bigotry that pushes the idea that Muslim Americans are seeking to take over and institute Sharia law, when in reality Muslim Americans on the left tend to unsurprisingly have views which more closely align with the left. As such, there is no contradiction between support for Muslim Americans and the other principles of the left.

Fourth: China

The majority of the left opposes the actions of China and gladly criticizes them on their human rights record as well as their actions with regards to Hong Kong and Taiwan. 

You seem to just be taking one small group and extrapolating it to cover the entirety of the left, which is never a particularly good way of forming an opinion...

Yeah @Dulfite in this thread you have to be left-center and aiming at the right to get away with doing that.  Then most that frequent this thread will agree with you.

Feel free to call out anyone you disagree with. 

The only thing I can speak for is myself, and I haven't exactly been shy about criticizing people on the left.

The Corporate "moderate" Democratics in most western countries would be at the Right of politics, being at the "Centre" in the US is a relative term as the US political culture is right leaning 

From other advanced western countries political perspective "centralists" would be the Progressive Democrats as most of their policies are already accepted and implement in most other advanced western countries and are widely accepted in these countries as normal and long standing     

Yeah, you chose option B, which was the good option... but had no clue and no plan whatsoever as to how to do so.

A friend of mine is Afghan and came to the country 14 years ago. His parents had a poppies farm (so basically an opium farm) and when the Americans came, they told them that this was wrong and burned the fields. The problem is that right after taking the seeds and burning the fields, they left without any compensation or giving the family any other means to survive, like seeds to grow some foodstuffs. You can't just go around destroying existences and expect people to be happy about it.

The country didn't get industrialized or otherwise developed, so there was little perspective for Afghans. The US reinstated the regents who had been ousted by the Talibans 40 years ago due to deep-running corruption and general ineptitude, and they proved they didn't learn much in all these years since.

Troop training was also done in a disastrous way. There were many volunteers who wanted to get trained to protect family and fatherland - and those got generally sent to the other corner of the country, far away from their loved ones, with corrupt armchair generals "leading" them by placing them somewhere and be done with. The collapse in the last weeks was mostly due to those soldiers choosing to rather go defend their families than to defend the country who did seemingly everything to push them away. A bit more oversight on what happens to the recruits past basic training would have done wonders in preventing the collapse.

Long story short, this was entirely preventable. But Bush had no plans past beating the Taliban, Obama didn't care enough to up the ante here, Trump just wanted to pull out and Biden finally did. If any of them had cared more and handled it just slightly better, we wouldn't be at the situation we are now.

Basically its what we see in the media.  Painting the whole group based on the fringe which keeps both sides nice and happy that their thoughts about each side is based on the extreme.  This tactic is as old as time and never gets old or outdated.

You should see how the left look describe the right then... not much different. Maybe even worse.

Any examples you could provide us or point to?

Now to be fair this is a CaptainExplosion post but a couple others seemed to agree with the sentiment that "3 republican governors (out of 27) and a gubernatorial candidate taking a stance against mask mandates" = Republicans are trying to kill as many children as possible. I suppose they could have disagreed and just didn't want to argue the point with him while also engaging him on the subject. I've just seen the "it's just hyperbole" argument made by those that lean American Left way more times than by the American Right leaning when defending having said terrible things about the other side.

You can just follow the posts from there to see highlights like:

"They really are a white collar terrorist group."

"It's like they don't care whether children are caged or not, they just want to kill as many kids as possible. We're never getting out of this nightmare because of these cockroaches. If said cockroaches die from COVID-19, then they'll only have themselves to blame."

Sorry i know this wasn't addressed at me.
