us liberals are having to come to terms with our leftist allies not actually being liberals

In fact, it's so hard to reconcile that I sometimes wonder if leftists are a straw man invented by the right, but I'm starting to realize that may not be true.

Leftists are not, but "leftists" as described by the right often are, as are "feminists" and "SJWs."
