"I see you're very passionate about this. So what are YOU going to specifically do about it?"
It's funny that they so often take that as an ad hominem, or "whataboutism," when it's very core to the argument. They'll get super offended if you ask what they're doing about their own passionate beliefs.
The point isn't you can't hold those positions, it's just how are they being applied. Are you actually doing anything, or just trying to force your ill-conceived ideals onto everyone else, when you don't live by them?
They're the ones saying there's an issue with society. I want to see how they're applying that in the small scale, before I listen to them on the bigger one. Especially if the core demand is some action from me, or my tax money and government.
Also, I wish they were capable of logic, because we do so their policies being applied; in liberal cities, in liberal states, even in liberal towns. It's not making things better, and is in fact making them significantly worse. We've seen what their "empathy" accomplishes.

Virtue signalling and purity spirals aren't concepts the Left invented and own, its just as much of a problem right now with our side as it gains power/prominence.
