Actually, yeah, I never thought about it, but I'd say most of the Warren people I knew were totally cultural leftists, and I think that's why they hated a lot of the Bernie supporters because their progressivism was situated in shifting the economic system to work for more people. I think the latter would support equality for all people (which is why you'd might see them on the same political team) but the cultural leftists wanted to get in the weeds of the intersectionalities of the most marginalized, and really, to be frank, use identity politics to leverage power - which, as we've seen, is something radical, nationalist politics use as well - vs hey let's do something to lift up everyone. It's no wonder these cultural leftists have the same stink of authoritarian tactics and regressive ideas on them.
