The thing about the broadly left-of-center in the United States that I find striking in this moment is the conceit that they did literally everything they could and it didn't work, and this just proves the United States is worse than they ever imagined

I suspect this is one of the main problems with their strategy. They cannot pretend not to hate the United States long enough to make it stick. Every time they try, it is immediately recognized for the lie that it is, and then when their lie fails to catch, the mask then drops immediately, and they revert back to their miserable and bitter selves

#and look #there is no leftism writ large without the fundamental denial of reality #at its root leftism is hatred of existence itself #because it cannot tolerate imperfection #and the world as we have it is imperfect #they keep building these castles in the air #this mythical world where the proletariat--however defined--finally rises up #if only the poor would unite #if only the dispossessed #the colonized #the nonwhite #the women #whoever it is #or whatever combination #it's just not a reflection of reality
