She has a weird bent where she comes across as reactionary about social issues on occasion. Her takes on crime and punishment is another weird thing with her.
Idk if she's a terf but she's been trending towards a "social issues don't matter" stance for a little while now.
I've never liked the young Turks personally, but I always thought they were good for introducing leftist concepts to the average Joe, now I'm not so sure if they're heading towards a "post left" 'class reductionist' grift. Much like dore.
