I think a lot of the misconceptions surrounding the idea that the left looks for equal outcomes result from the discussions about the wealth and income gaps. Here is a good article from The Atlantic on this issue form 2015: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/06/what-matters-inequality-or-opportuniy/393272/
In the sake of transparency, the authors are with a progressive think tank on budget issues. They know what they are talking about but there are of course going to be different opinions. They just lay out the argument well, in my opinion.
And Dill, this is more of a general response for everyone, not just for you.
