In the political cosmology of something that calls itself the “Democratic Party,” it is now a widespread belief that support is owed from below rather than earned from above. Instead of building popular coalitions by seeking to represent the hopes, dreams, and interests of a democratic majority, a posture of absolute, uncritical deference toward elite politicians is presumed to be axiomatic — even when an election is still well over a year away.
I shared this on a different instance some months ago, but with this new instance open it might find a different reception.
No worse enemy of the left than the left
Liberals are not left.
Case in point.
It’s not divisive to state what is obvious to anybody with a tiny bit of political knowledge. Liberals are only the left in the US because the center there is the right. In normal countries, liberals are not the left. Sorry to break your bubble.
