Regardless of which side of the political aisle you are in, what is one hot take you have that would get you cancelled in your own party?

I feel like I’m going to ruffle a lot of feathers with this one, but somebody’s gotta say it.
You cannot scream nonstop about foreign countries like Israel having so much influence over our elections and our policies and in the same breath, tell us that we should be making Palestine and the people of Gaza our #1 priority in our elections over our own interests. I see leftists do this all the time and it gives me whiplash every single time. Babe, you are doing the exact same thing you are criticizing both Democrats and Republicans for doing with Israel. The only difference is that both parties are getting paid to support Israel’s interests. You are promoting Palestine’s interests over what is good for Americans for free. I don’t want to be the United States of Israel, but I’m not trying to become the United States of Palestine either. If we’re against foreign influence, let’s actually be against it. All of it, not just the versions of it we don’t like.

Couple of things.
I tend to be easier on liberals and centrist than mostnof my peers and at times even towards some libertarians. Not necessarily the ones in power but the ones in subjugation. I think people on the left often tare into them as soft targets, attacking the weaker target instead of the bear. I think it loses possible allies and roads to what we want to achieve and ends in lost oppertunity for meaningful dialogue to spread the ideas. Ultimately strengthening, not weakening the right.

Second a lot of gender identity issues. Im all for the rights of all but I disagree on childhood gender affirming drugs for one. Two I make the case that there is a not small segement who engages in a performative trans or fluid gender identity who uses the real struggle and associated rights of people going through real and undeniable issues in order to force everyone around them to engage in a role playing game to live out thwir kinks and weird sexual fantasies over being truly transgender or fluid. I find it offensive and insulting on several accounts but at the top of list is that it creates exponentually mkre hardships for those who truly have an identity crisis and want to live their best life expressed who they are and kind of dehumanizes and makes fun of their real struggles. I've had both conflict and agreemnet on that notion from those in my camp. On that note, in a related sense when it comes to some wuth gender, sexuality, and race identity things, some just go so hard for the shock value atrack and turn it up to 11 and it makes the struggle for equality untenable.
