On the other hand, I think many minorities have experienced what it feels like to work toward a goal, and have it pulled out from under them at the last minute, while watching others where that doesn’t seem to happen.
We wonder why Conservatives consistently vote against their own interests. This is due in large part to their leaders lying, and taking actions that contradict their words on the campaign trail. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, we see behavior that, to the untrained eye, might look like Progressive leaders doing the exact same type of thing. Some might conclude that, no matter how much these progressives talk about inclusion, this progressive movement might not include people like them after all, when they see a key leader undone by “their own side”.
This movement might think this is all in service of a greater good, but you don’t control other people’s opinions, and what their opinions are of your motives. And they aren’t obligated to believe you, even if you turn out to be right. This could set your movement back years, if people you relied on to build that new majority think you don’t respect them, and abandon you in future elections.

I think they want meaningful change and know Jefferies is a sellout to the very same monsters who oppress them.
