Right, I guess leftists can do no wrong and are never responsible for their failures. When liberals don’t get elected, it’s “stop blaming the voters and examine your own platforms for once!” But when leftists don’t get elected. It’s “the voters are so ignorant and malicious and they all deserve to get exactly what they voted for!”
I swear, leftists can be just as bad as anyone else when it comes to self-awareness. And I say that as a leftist.
Face it, the virtue signaling and performativism is strong on our side of the spectrum, and it does more damage to the movement than the right-wing caricatures we only validate whenever we rabidly chase away anyone who doesn’t intuitively grasp our social scripts on-the-fly at a fluent conversational pace…
It has way more to do with capitalist interests blocking leftist candidates and literally sewing anti leftist ideas throughout media than it does with the actual voters. The feds have literally admitted to entering online spaces and doing exactly the things you’re talking about while pretending to be leftists. Cointelpro never ended.

And a lot of people eat that shit up. It wouldn’t be so effective if we were immune to it.
