Tired of groups recklessly calling other liberals racist, misogynist, etc.

That's it. I'm done with this shit.
If you can't recognize that people are liberals for a reason and grant them the benefit of the doubt before you recklessly out them to the world as "racist" or "misogynist" based on the tiniest of information, like color and gender and the fact that maybe they declined your invitation to a party or sleepover.
Well, then fuck you, then.
Some people have suffered too much personally on the way to and as liberals to now listen to your shit about how horrible humans they are just because they happen to be in your line of sight and don't look like you or disappointed you on a personal level that you've now decided is an indicator of their political stance on your obsessive pet cause - yourself and only people that look like you. Really. Try helping someone else besides yourself some time.
You're suffering matters. But nobody loves a whiner who thinks their cause trumps and has a monopoly over the suffering of everybody else.
Therefore, I am no longer supporting any liberal or liberal group that attacks other liberals as racist, misogynist or homophobic as if they were right wing extremists.
Unless they explicitly admit to it, it should be a given that a liberal is none of those.
To clarify, I still support NOW, I still love Rev. Al and support the LGBT alliance.
For the longest time I thought such accusations and treatment of other liberals made sense because, obviously, racism, misogyny and homophobia was bad. Duh.
But it's becoming more and more obvious that such accusations are being used against other liberals by the slower but more angry members of these groups more out of the psychological need for power and control over others than out of a real call for justice. But the game is becoming more and more obvious.
In other words, it's a power thing to them, not a justice thing, as can be often observed by their complete disregard for fairness and justice for others.
As such, I am withdrawing my support and defense of such liberals and liberals groups that attack other liberals with accusations of "tone deafness", "racism", "misogyny", "homophobia" or any other variant of bigotry typically seen among right wing extremists.
Also, I will make it my job to publicly expose and confront such power obsessed liberals on an individual level.
It's time we stop letting other reckless hateful and power obsessed liberals create the narrative for who we are politically and personally.
NOTE to Mods: This thread is not about this happening on DU, although it does. It is about it happening in the entire liberal community from the Bernie Sanders rallies, to The Daily Show backstage, to our families.
