We know that sexism is a MUCH larger issue than we thought it was.

We know that racism is a MUCH larger issue than we thought it was.

We know that a lot of kinds of hate are a much larger issue than we thought. They have so much hate.

We can hammer differences out after we've got a win or two under our belts.
