I think on the Left we have a "virtuous" cycle/feedback loop that results in increasingly outlandish positions.
Essentially, for most people there's a serotonin feedback when people upvote, applaud, reteeet etc. People, responding to incentives like anyone else shift their online discourse to match.
Similarly, even beyond the positive feedback, on thr Left no one wants to be a white cis male contradicting the feelings, emotions or arguments of a POC or LGBTQ+ person.
The Right doesn't really have this problem as the Far right opinions are generally understood to be reprehensible to most people so those movements have evolved to work on dog whistles etc.
It's a structural issue but one that puts us out of touch with the mainstream (consider defund the police, transgender athletes or immigration until we were getting murdered in the polls and it was too late to do anything.)

Where on "the Left"?

Maybe liberals don't. And I wouldn't consider them to be on the left.
Why would you want to police emotions or feelings of others?
Arguments on the other hand should be based on logic. And as long as you're respectful, one can disagree.
Your attempt at making all these different scenarios look the same, makes me question your position and honesty in this conversation

This is just purely false and inaccurate. There are plenty of people who agree with far right talking points
Edit: why was I not surprised to see that you are one of those "leftist" (read liberal) who is fine with the Palestinian genocide as long as it's your team that carries out the genocide?
THAT is why we have to be careful. Precisely because of fake allies like you, who say they are on your side while condoning a genocide behind your back.
But sure, talk again of "virtuosity tests" and the "Left"...
Ahahaha, "As long as you're respectful one can disagree." And a paragraph later "hey, this guy pointed out trump would be worse for Palestineans that means he is down with genoicde!!!!"
Could you prove my point much harder?
You don't even realize you are further proving my point and you're coming across as even more fake.
I started respectfully, just as at first, you appeared to be "just another leftist with some different opinion". If you knew how to read, you'd have noticed that my change in tone came in the "edit" of my reply.
In reality, you're just another liberal apologists that is fine with genocide... And I am absolutely NOT going to be respectful to Zionists once your true colors are evident.
Your "point" was moot to begin with because you're not leftist. But you are a fake ally, ready to backstab minorities and allow genocides to happen
I have no idea what point you're trying to make other than, I dunno, some crazy shit like everyone who disagrees with you is a Zionist or something?
But I stand by that post, if you voted for a third party, you helped trump. If you're trying to wrap your stupidity around the plight of the Palestineans you either aren't following the news or never really cared about them in the first place.
I get that this is probably the first humanitarian crisis you've seen on social media and pretended to care about but as you grow up, hopefully you'll realize there are sometimes unfortunate restrictions around your choices. While I would have loved a better option than the Dems, the choice was them or trump. If you voted third party, you helped put an administration that is absolutely hostile to them and worse than what would've been the case otherwise.
Sorry if reality sucks but whining about it like a petulant child isn't going to change it or rally others to your cause.
