A star of the Netflix show “Queer Eye,” Jonathan Van Ness, is getting heat from the left after he sent out a tweet calling for Democrats to stop demonizing Trump supporters.
Not all republicans are racist. Just like not all democrars are evil, we have to stop demonizing eachother. Unless you’re actually racist then you suck, Trump is Racist – not all his voters are necessarily we gotta remember we are all in this together.

At this point, if they are still supporting Trump, they are racists at worst, don't care if people are racists at best. Sorry, @jvn I see no way around this. I've severed ties with family members who insist on supporting Trump.

This is the worst political advice ever. Progressive candidates that actually stand for something are how we win. Running towards the center with Clinton just gave us 4 years of Trump – let’s not be silly again. People want universal healthcare… period.

Have you paid attention to any election in 8 years? Center-Left candidates have lost 1,000 seats at all levels. Repeating the same mistaken action and expecting a different result is a negligent idea. Also that too far left you’re speaking of just wants healthcare for all.

If Republicans move to the far right and Democrats race for the centre, the entire discourse slides rightwards, which is why a great many sane and constructive policies are now considered "radical leftism". Democrats must RUN to the left.

Van Ness responded to the haters on Twitter, saying, “left people are not necessarily inherently evil, and right people are not necessarily inherently evil, and our ability to notice gray area and to notice what compromise means and how much compromise has led us to where we are is important.”
