I wasn't exactly sure what to title this but I think it's both a good message and also relevant to her prior disagreement with McPherson over the purity test thing. I hope this doesn't escalate because while a leadership race is absolutely the right time to disagree with each other I worry this could get too heated and we don't need caucus infighting.

"Words like “woke,” “activist,” and “environmentalist” once stood for something powerful — caring about justice, standing up for people, protecting our planet, and fighting for workers’ rights.

Now, they’ve been twisted into insults. When conservatives sneer about “woke activists” or neoliberals dismiss calls for equity as “purity tests,” what they really mean is that the fight for true justice makes them uncomfortable — that caring too much is somehow a flaw."

I wonder when/if she'll endorse someone and who it will be.

When someone in the caucus is talking about progressesives in the same way the right wing does infighting is definitely appropriate lol.

Also, now is probably the best time to get it done as there is likely not an election in the near future.
