14. There should be no space for violent anarchists within the liberal/progressive coalition.

That's the point. These Antifa groups are not liberal and are not progressive. They are our political enemies and letting them "inside the tent" (or anywhere near us) is a huge mistake.

Tolerating violent Antifa groups in our midsts weakens our coalition. It is damaging to allow these fanatics to be associated with us.

Antifa doesn't have a "progressive" goal. Not in the least. They are addicted to violence and wish to push politics even further towards polarized extremes. Nothing could be worse for liberal progressives that to think these folks are some sort of "allies." They are mortal enemies of liberalism.
