First of all... chicken shit move deleting the post that I was responding to....

How doesn't extreme political correctness have anything to do with institutional liberalism?

Political correctness is another right wing double-speak term to denigrate any effort at respecting people they think should be marginalized... if you don't use the "n" word, don't call gay people by pejoratives, or don't denegrate the disenfranchised... you're just being "politically correct". It's fairly sad that you buy into their manipulation of the language.

Have you been to college?

Yes.

You think they're not a part of Party apparatus?

Who, college students? No, they a part of the base, but they don't wield any power (mostly because they fail to show up for elections on a regular basis).

You think that's not shaping our media outlets?

I happen to be an expert in this particular field, and they don't.

If as a political movement we blame everyone on the right for the success of Trump, we've got to apply the same logic and realize our problems as the left.

We aren't blaming everyone on the right. Anyone who has half a brain can look at the data and tell you that the primary factor in Trump's win was anti-Hillary Democrats. As usual, the Democrats "fall in love", Republicans "fall in line". "Bernie Bros" and the like who stayed at home, or voted for Jill Stein, or some other version of self-immolation on the altar of ideological purity gave us the gravest threat to our Republic in its history (and yes, more so than the Civil War).

the left is a house divided

Yes. Between idealists and realists. If we can't come together against the Trumpetters, our failure will be even more spectacular.

Clinton's loss is solely on her and the establishment

Again, you're ignoring the data. She won the popular vote by nearly three million votes. Democrats have won the popular vote in every Presidential election -- with the exception of 2004 -- since 1992.

I think she's part of the problem.

The problem with Clinton as a candidate was not her agenda, but rather her vulnerability to ethics attacks... not because they were justified, but they were "plausible". The right has been mining that narrative for 25 years, and in November, they struck gold. The problem is that most people aren't old enough, or savvy enough, to be aware of this fact.

there is a difference between Democrat and liberal

It's a distinction without meaning. If you're a liberal, you vote with the Democrats, because any other choice gives the Republicans a win. Again, only self-congratulating, ideologically-rigid, purist "snowflakes" don't get this. You don't see the GOP breaking into sub groups because they are willing to compromise their so-called integrity on the altar of power.

I can condemn their actions in Baltimore, the beating of Trump supporters, etc. while still believing in the cause of racial equality and getting the ridiculous police state under control.

I have no problem criticizing BLM when they fuck up. The right-wing would have you believe that they are a threat to civilization.

In conclusion, I think you are misdiagnosing the problem. You're trying to make perfect the enemy of the good.
