On the contrary, the left-wing is the only source of credible, trustworthy, and bias-free information on a wide variety of topics such as climate change. Equating neutrality with credibility and trustworthiness is a clear mistake, because political bias is not orthogonal to factual bias.
I think there's an excellent argument to be made as to the underlying factual validity of the stance(s).
None of which addresses the point that it's off mission and a distraction from the mission, and will attract even further off-mission criticism and attacks and resentment.
Someone out there (and not just a tiny minority) is going to disagree strongly with the position; I don't. But I care that we made them our enemies here and in this manner.
