Probably because the left doesn't really have a vision to offer, we should be promoting a better future for all and showing how we can achieve it but instead we've got infighting, purity culture, self destructive idealism, and calls for making life harder on regular people in pretty much every way possible.
The vibe I get is that the left usually points at things that need to change and offers solutions to the problems they see.
And the right campaigns on "not that"
Same. I ponder if it’s an echo chamber but then realize I consume such a variety of news…. Sad state of things.
Literally what are you talking about? Like, give examples, please.
If you've never seen leftwing infighting then you've never been involved in any form of left wing politics lol
I've seen my fair share of agent provocateurs.
Ha yeah that's a horrendously naive perspective, I've been involved in a lot of leftwing movements over the years especially eco and economic reform and I can tell you that if all the infighting comes from outside agents then we should thank the three letters because there would be no movement at all without them.
Are you honestly trying to tell me that you don't think the left has any issues? It's all good honesty lefties working together?
And the others, they're not lefties or Scotsmen, they're agents who must rightly be obliterated... hmm, I think I might have seen this one before 🤔
I said what I said. Whatever extra context and meaning you add in your head is your own deal. That being said I can certainly believe you've been involved in your fair share of infighting.
You said nothing of substance and now you're questioned on it you back away because you know you were just trying to sound tough without really thinking through your position.
I back away from questions?! Still waiting on a single actual example, Mr Bad Faith.
You claim to be a leftist with a long history of political action and yet you've boiled the entire ideology down to "calls for making life harder on regular people in pretty much every way possible."
You're clearly not a leftist. You're clearly only here to cause infighting so you can point it out. So yeah, I said I've seen agent provocateurs and unfortunately I still do.
The only problem of the left is they are bad at marketing or consider it immoral
