I feel the need to write an "economic leftist's manifesto" and get it in front of as many people, particularly conservatives, as we can.
This identify and grievance based social leftism does very little to materially improve the conditions of people, very little to change actual power structures which harm the everyday family, and does very much to divide people by making individual identity/attributes the most important thing about a person. Community goes out the window, free expression is ridiculed.
Economic leftism and social democracy is the key to pushing politics leftward in the United States. It prioritizes economic security for people and families. It wants to take away free markets and profit motive from those industries where it is harmful or objectively immoral, such as health insurance and prisons. It wants to lift all people of all races and identities, to get everyone a decent education, housing, healthcare, and work in order to secure a person's ability to live day to day without fear bankruptcy or homelessness.
This kind of divisive, satirical, Newspeak bullshit will do more to keep the far right in power in the United States.
