Is Cultural Liberalism getting in the way of Economic Equality movement?

11. Absolutely agree.

The democratic coalition is a passenger train. Progress toward the goal is hampered by the occupants of passenger car #11 applying the brakes because their car isn't in position #7.

Economic equality is the overriding issue of this country. 99% of the issues we each find important from an identity standpoint are easily defended on these grounds. Marriage equality is in part an economic fairness issue. Racial discrimination is also largely an economic fairness issue. Environmental degradation is an economic fairness issue.

Squabbling for our preferred position "on the ladder of disadvantage", is self-destructive.
