This should show everyone clearly, unambiguously, without a doubt that conservatives in America have zero idea what progressivism or leftism is about at all.

It's just words to them. They do NOT care. It's WWE wrestlemania. They want to paint their faces and get swept away in a stageplay and die as heartbroken as the hero if they don't succeed and make all their enemies pay.

We need to like, mass-spam the entire Midwest america with historical romance novels with bodice-ripping sex scenes. I think if more guys just got lost in that shit, we would have a lot less tension and pain in the world.

What's the old Trotskyite joke? Two members, three parties?

Man, I can't even agree with myself most days.

Unfortunately in this case, it's projection. The right falls in line and they accomplish stuff because of that. The left could really learn from that.

If the left were even a fraction as organized as claimed, Bernie would have blown the primary out in 2016 and ridden into the whitehouse with solid majorities in both houses.

It honestly roils me how impotent the left is, because an active organized left could grab this country by the balls and drag it into a whole new era, but all we have is a million headed hydra with each neck pulling in a different direction because nobody can get over themselves for long enough to fall in line behind a common objective.

The Left as a single monolith is the work of fiction.

There's no division like leftist unity

Every time a right wing pundit talks about the left wing hive mind it's a clear tell that they have no understanding of their political rivals at all..

That sounds like something somebody would say if they knew absolutely nothing about the Left (or were just trying to scare/motivate their own base). The Left are ok-ish at organizing when they’re motivated enough, but they can barely agree on anything and will find any excuse to get into a fight with each other. You’ve got people on the Left willing to virtue-signal about Israel, vote third party and lose the presidency to Trump, a candidate who would make things demonstrably worse for Palestinians and would likely increase aid to Israel and remove any lukewarm constraints that the current administration is limp-wristidly raising. Meanwhile, Republicans will overlook any of the hundreds of things wrong with their candidate and compromise any values they’ve had, just to elect the biggest shit stain in history because they know he’ll make the other side feel bad.

Yeah, I guess we do have one common goal, make life better for everyone?

Funnily enough, many online leftists think something similar is true for the right.

If that were true, Trump would have never had a chance to become president in the first place.

Organized left = isn't part of the cult

Meanwhile there are 3 fractions for each 2 left wing people.

I'd say fuckers problem isn't that we are organized but maybe; we're not a bunch of rock sucker's mixed in with a bag'o'rascists.

As usual this isn't something to be taken as an observation of reality, but an attempt to create a reality for conservatives to be afraid of...

It's "the big bad left" all organized like an army ready to steamroll your beautiful conservative values! Of course it has no bearing in reality, but that's not the point. The point as always with them is "be afraid of the left!!"

Well, I think that there's actually something to this. I've been involved in a lot of organizing spaces, and there's this "our backs are all up against a wall so we have to work towards a common goal of achieving a workers state and not dying due to climate change" vibe going around lately.

You’re just saying that because of the time the communists took a break from a revolution against monarchists to shoot at other communists. Or because of the other time they did that

That's a lot of words to say "absolutely not dysfunctional"
