(on edit: this OP is about broadstroke philosophy, and is NOT intended as a substitute for policy specifics. Nor would it leave at room for anyone to be thrown under the bus).
We should be pro-worker and anti-corporate(or at least not corporate-deferential)on economics, pro-liberation/anti-oppression on social justice issues, pro-planet on environmental issues, pro-peace(or at least anti-nuclear and much less pro-military intervention)on foreign policy.
We don't need to exclude ANYBODY who's been screwed over by the status quo.
We can fight for those who lost jobs and dignity in the post-1981 economy(and that's folks of ALL races, genders, and identities, btw)AND with equal passion fight for those in danger of losing rights, freedom, and in some cases physical safety due to social oppression.
It never needed to be either/or.
It doesn't need to be either/or now.
It has nothing to do with which side anyone was on in 2015-2016.
And it doesn't have to do with whoever we nominate in three years.
