You're being downvoted because you're being overbroad IMO. To claim the entire "mainstream left" is ignorant of behavioural genetics research is demonstrably false and may be viewed as being politically motivated.

- crusso 11y agoNotice that you had to add "entire" to vox's statement to make your point. Vox's point was a bit of a generalization, but your argument used an unfair exaggeration.
- facetube 11y agoWas he talking about only a portion of the "mainstream left"? These are individual American citizens with a variety of competencies and experience; it's unclear to me why there'd be a connection between this and one's political beliefs.
- crusso 11y agoEven the modifier "mainstream" suggests a subset of some larger "left". If you understood his similar comment about the "mainstream right", that should give you an idea of how he drew the connection for the "mainstream left".
- vixen99 11y agoThere is an identifiable mainstream left and we know exactly what they think about behavioural genetics research? Or at least we know enough to claim it is demonstrably false? So who is being overbroad here?
