There are reasons beyond the PC culture of the left to reject them. But following up on this post:
I saw this linked earlier today:
I Can Tolerate Anything Except The Outgroup
Essentially this guy is a liberal psychologist who looks into the creation of ingroups and outgroups. Historically, outgroups are just that. Implied bad, out of the norm, etc. Now there is a trend of the left that creates outgroups and narratives in order to then associated with these creations to feel super smug and gain status within their circles.
Also interesting from that blog -- there might be more genetics involved in your VIEW on gay marriage than being gay itself (yes twisted stats, but a pretty funny one as an outcome).
At least one more liberal blogger looking inward at the change in the left and the predefined grouping that is required to get status. And likewise, the curtailing of other opinions as they will make you lose status, or even receive hostilities.
He still looks to sort everybody into groups interestingly, which I think misses the larger point about how arbitrary it is, but I digress.
This an incredibly introspective article in which some on the left are finally understanding the rejection of the current regressive thought policing insanity
Privilege and Prejudice: Social Justice In An Age Of Male Confusion
In particular he seems to understand how seemingly contrarian peoples (left and right)are aligning against the left that has become so extreme, so focused on categories, so silencing of open discourse.

Great article by The Don!
Let Me Ask America a Question
On Saturday, April 9, Colorado had an “election” without voters. Delegates were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred.
A planned vote had been canceled. And one million Republicans in Colorado were sidelined.
In recent days, something all too predictable has happened: Politicians furiously defended the system. “These are the rules,” we were told over and over again. If the “rules” can be used to block Coloradans from voting on whether they want better trade deals, or stronger borders, or an end to special-interest vote-buying in Congress—well, that’s just the system and we should embrace it.
Let me ask America a question: How has the “system” been working out for you and your family?
I, for one, am not interested in defending a system that for decades has served the interest of political parties at the expense of the people. Members of the club—the consultants, the pollsters, the politicians, the pundits and the special interests—grow rich and powerful while the American people grow poorer and more isolated.
No one forced anyone to cancel the vote in Colorado. Political insiders made a choice to cancel it. And it was the wrong choice.
Responsible leaders should be shocked by the idea that party officials can simply cancel elections in America if they don’t like what the voters may decide.
The only antidote to decades of ruinous rule by a small handful of elites is a bold infusion of popular will. On every major issue affecting this country, the people are right and the governing elite are wrong. The elites are wrong on taxes, on the size of government, on trade, on immigration, on foreign policy.
Why should we trust the people who have made every wrong decision to substitute their will for America’s will in this presidential election?
Here, I part ways with Sen. Ted Cruz.
Mr. Cruz has toured the country bragging about his voterless victory in Colorado. For a man who styles himself as a warrior against the establishment (you wouldn’t know it from his list of donors and endorsers), you’d think he would be demanding a vote for Coloradans. Instead, Mr. Cruz is celebrating their disenfranchisement.
Likewise, Mr. Cruz loudly boasts every time party insiders disenfranchise voters in a congressional district by appointing delegates who will vote the opposite of the expressed will of the people who live in that district.
That’s because Mr. Cruz has no democratic path to the nomination. He has been mathematically eliminated by the voters.
I would suggest you read the whole thing.

There's no stopping this man. As much as I wish to hold onto the little bits of hope for the left, President Donald Trump is going to happen.
What did the rag Salon get out of this?
Donald Trump just reminded everyone how dangerous he is: His rage-ridden WSJ op-ed puts his big lie on paper
An infantile debate position of blogspam horseshit:
Tone of article begins by implicitly supporting the mastery of Cruz and deriding Trump for being in 'Tantrum mode', thus the author rejects the premise that Trump is right. Just a trantrum...
Again, its all just rhetoric. Oh and here we get a Salon shill talking about Trump having no proposal.
@IschKabibble can we get that picture again that shows the liberal paradox -- Trump has no concrete plans? Trumps concrete plans are bad and racist! I'm sweating anxiously here.
Their rejecting of the campaign, snottily looking down at every bit of it, and responding with such absurdity is a rejection of the millions that just keep making him win. They are so wrapped in their world they come up with a million theories on why it can't be that simple... others hold different views and aren't morons! My God!

@IschKabibble can we get that picture again that shows the liberal paradox -- Trump has no concrete plans? Trumps concrete plans are bad and racist! I'm sweating anxiously here.What's that? the ENTIRE premise of Trump's op-ed is right? Specifically every single theme he brings up? They then go on to say that Trump isn't really serious and he's not really serious about being president with his not serious campaign...seriously.
I don't think I can enjoy these dorks underestimating this campaign any more than I already am. That was too well written! You don't fit the view of the lucky dumbass MULTI BILLIONAIRE real estate mogul I've been touting to protect my world view.

This thread is full of them. Pick one.
I'm gonna try my best to watch this Ted Cruz town hall without once thinking about killing myself. Anyone wanna join me?
You'll get:
- NAFTA/TPP gone
- marijuana legal at federal level
- Economic Zone reinvestment for failed urban centers, which for all purposes is black american reinvestment. That's more than anyone else is looking to do at this point
- Same gay marriage position as 2012 Obama and Hillary Clinton (actually more liberal since he isn't supporting the backing of DOMA and would give the choice to the states. There is further assumption here to be made like Obama where everyone assumed "he's just saying that" since unlike Obama and Clinton Trump HAS supported gay marriage before) which is about as liberal as you'll get from a Republican. And with a supreme court decision on record now, this is support for the current status quo...legal and can't be changed.
- Support homosexuals as civil rights protected class
- Non interventionalist middle east policy
- Broad energy policy with a statement of support for clean energy and especially nuclear, the latter of which obama failed on following yucca mountain catch-22 and an anemic clean air policy
- reform of citizens united
You won't get a bully pulpit for specific social causes. You won't get European love of Nobel Prize winner Obama. You won't get a shot at single payer healthcare.

These are popping up all over my state.

Just saw their web site. Our of context bullshit for anyone that's actually been paying attention.
"Anti hate group" that lies and manipulates in order to crate a narrative for which to rail against.
It's a goddamn cottage industry. Without it, they couldn't ask for money for their faux activism.

Dunno if this got posted, but clip through. I really enjoyed this the other day. But mostly DAMN is Ivanka a force.
Just incredibly well spoken and one of those presences in a room.
Start somewhere around 24:30 to get into the meat of things with a several Ivanka questions and answered.
neither one of those guys would be trumps running mate IMHO. Rand for sure, Kasich might sell out but I doubt it.
Giuliani? he has been advising trump his entire run, more behind the scenes to help maintain the
anti-establishment facade. he will absolutely have a position, if even just consultant.
what happened to this place? went from Sanders/Paul supporters to Trump?

That is still so brutal. He should have withdrawn immediately after, for burn treatment.
