Marshall is equating libertarianism with white supremacy. I think this is roughly equivalent to equating socialism with Stalinism, conservatism with Nazism or Islam with terrorism. This attitude of some of the left is unbelievably destructive and dangerous. https://twitter.com/Econ_Marshall/status/1079490048968527873 …

This all started when Marshall said that it was not worth trying to attract libertarians because they are literally white supremacists. Are you saying it is not worth trying to attract, e.g. New Dealers or Roosevelt admirers?
