Because it infiltrated the system and gained power from within, a prospect that for some reason horrifies leftists. Even though that is the only way to achieve your goals.

It didn’t infiltrate the system. It is the system.

Did it, though?

An Astroturf campaign is a fake grassroots movement: it purports to be a spontaneous uprising of concerned citizens, but in reality it is founded and funded by elite interests.

I think you desperately need to believe it was astroturfed, because otherwise it would too starkly contrast with the absolute failure of Leftism.
