 Challenge for fellow liberal cultural elitists only! Can you tell me what this part is and what it does?

 1/ There’s a huge schism growing on the left I’ve struggled to understand. 

And, I think I’ve figured out how to put words to it, please tell me if this rings true to you. 

There are Policy Leftists and Infinite Leftists. 

I am a Policy Leftist. There are specific policies I want with a beginning and end. I can argue them from a rational basis without calling you names if you disagree. Single payer healthcare. Lowering housing costs. Civil rights for LGBT people. 
 I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States.
