Reckoning With the Left’s Many Failures
(jacobin.com)
Ozma again. Ignore.
It's clear you didn't read the article because it starts off with admitting the left has failed and you'd probably love that.
You obviously didn't read the article.
Nope, just your name. Enough proof to ignore.
I think you were the one pissed I kept saying they were going to replace Biden at the DNC. And then... They did right before.
Right?
I feel like Cassandra lately. What's with all the weirdos getting mad at being told the truth?
People are still mad at Ozma from early on in the election because Ozma wasn't holding back criticism of the Dems. Still don't. Some people probably still think they are a Russian bot.
Reality sucks.
This header is what I've been feeling for a while:
We Aren’t Strong Enough Yet
There aren't enough weirdo leftists to make a real difference. I don't think there ever will be in America.
Which is why I disagree with this:
There are no shortcuts, only the steady, strategic grind of organizing that brings policy shifts within reach. It’s unglamorous, but it’s the only way forward if we want to win the changes we’ve been fighting for.
Fighting a war of attrition as the smaller force is a recipe for defeat. We need to figure out political guerrilla tactics to get things done if there's never going to be enough of us. Bernie's been a political guerrilla for years, and could have made more change if he had more help and leftists weren't obsessing over some final victory.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
