I'm a liberal but I'd like to address this to the leftists. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. In my experience with leftists, they tend to bully others who have opposing opinions. They outright ostracize those who would dare disagree on a few things (like, specifically the merit of socialism) with them even if they agree on many topics. Don't get me wrong, as every single "group" has capacity to turn on "the other". As a group dedicated to people who don't entirely fit into one basket, I think we all recognize this. However, I notice that with leftists in particular that the mere idea of disagreement is seen as a betrayal and a flag to harass, ostracize, and demean.

I have come to my own conclusions that the fall of leftism is its sheer placid loyalty to the premise of the collective. For them, being a part of that collective means agreeing with their interests. I'm not going to paint every leftist in this manner, but it almost feels like that if you go outside of that collective you're seen as the enemy. I see now why socialist and communist countries fail and are routinely human rights disasters. They apply this collectivist approach to government, systems, and people because they think that they - as the collective - are in the right. I have a morbid hunch that with power, this goes from mere ostracization to literal violence. For if you have power and there are those who resist your collective ideology, they must be terminated and thereby killed. We saw it during the Bolshevik revolution for instance: Democratic Socialists were purged because they did not assimilate and had the audacity to believe in democracy despite them being a key figure in helping the Bolsheviks gain power. Again, maybe I'm wrong but I want to parlay this concern to real leftists and not the ones in my head and communicate on whether or not this is a extreme mis-characterization on their part. Thank you.

This is a huge problem with mainstream democrats and such, too. Only certain people get promoted to party leadership, newsroom editorial boards, host of a cable news show.

Democrats rightly or wrongly labeled all Trump sympathisers as irredeemable. Democrats fail to construct a narrative for why things are poo poo, and sure as hell don't have solutions that meaningfully improve people's lives. Democrats don't want your vote.

Leftists should do better. gently caress you, get out of here.

Katie Porter is about as good as you can get on the liberal spectrum.

Katie Hill was the Rep that got dismissed for being outed in a sexual scandal and was later exposed as having been abusive to staff. She's since trying to parlay the former story into a Netflix special.

she backed warren but they’re irl friends and she was in one of warrens classes at harvard, so that’s automatically 2 succ strikes against her

but she also publicly shames the rich and powerful so hard in committee hearings that good things actually happen because of that poo poo

considering how right wing her district has traditionally been she’s about the most left i could hope for under the circumstances especially since she’s more left than the majority of assclowns in way more democratic districts across the country

I just realized who Jen Psaki is... Years ago I saved a youtube video of a state department press conference about Edward Snowden because it was one of the most annoying and absurd examples Ive ever seen of someone using public relations strategy and nonsense speak to avoid saying a single thing that meant anything and avoid answering questions and I wanted to keep it handy specifically to use as an example to show people of public relations bull poo poo. Jen Psaki is the state department spokesperson from that press conference lol...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDFIVVmXE-g

Of course this lady is WH press secretary now... Watching this now reminds me of the bit from Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry is at a restaurant and his waiter tells them their food is going to be delayed because of a disturbance in the kitchen and Larry tries to question him about the disturbance.

people like to talk about how warren's campaign was a lot of college educated upper middle class people who wanted to feel like they were helping the left but not quite there, but the truth is a lot of bernie's campaign was cut of that same cloth
