I think Charlie’s point is that there are people with a platform and some degree of power on the left who sometimes say extreme things that play into the narrative of the extreme right and the Democrats are reluctant to call out those people and say they are wrong and prefer to say no we don’t think that and it’s a made up issue. I think it’s a valid point although there is no question that what Republicans are doing is on a whole different plane as I think Charlie would agree. It’s not necessarily bothsideism to say Stacy Ábrams probably should have conceded in 2018. Although it is crazy to equate what she did with Trump’s actions or the sedition caucus, as Fox News tries to do.

You just made the point much better than he did. From his point I'm left wondering why Biden is letting this attack on both straight and gay marriage go without challenge? My marriage is being threatened from the left, and Biden says nothing!!!
