I'm not sure if I fit the standard template of a Leftist but I personally believe that it is the duty of the strong to stand up for the weak.
I found myself in a situation (minor real-world radius) to consider if accessibility or union attendance was more important. Here is my response:
I don't have a perfect idea of attendance right now, but it will be a learning curve. Realistically, for the 22nd it will be about 140 people, declining from there. We can work around anomalies and if people have to sit on the floor we can accommodate.
I have to make a call. We want to maximise attendance but not exclude any groups. If 200 people in wheelchairs turn up on the 22nd, we will make sure you are heard. Likewise, I expect that any unionist is asked to give up their seat because a disabled person needs a seat they will gladly stand to help a fellow member of the union can vote.
Sometimes I fear that inclusivity is weaponized against the left. Do you think I made the right call?
I don't get it, in particular how are you being asked to choose between those things? Try to get as many people to show up as possible, including the disabled, and to me it's like "in my wildest dreams I get to solve this problem, we have too many people!" Just make sure attendees know that they might be asked to stand or accommodate others if it's crowded. Many hands make light work, yeah? You can all solve it together.
