    Doesn’t it bother anyone else how ineffective the left are at making this a big deal?

    Biden eats a hamburger weirdly and everybody and their grandmother are screaming how it’s proof he’s senile and incompetent.

    Trump invaded two cities and the left use the same 27 year old slogans and insults and barely make any content.

      It’s because the left has allowed itself to be absorbed by establishment liberals, who have way too little stock with the people for their words to move anyone. This is the inevitable consequence of progressives regarding liberals as allies rather than slightly more tasteful (and more insidious) enemies.

        You sure?

        If I was a right wing think tank my first move would be to get the left to identify as very strict categories and then create a bunch of infighting as if they’re little island before I crush them.

        The left fails because they don’t act strategically

          You sure?

          Yes? The Bernie-Trump pipeline is a thing for a reason; when people don’t find solutions on the left they look for them on the right.

          The left fails because they don’t act strategically

          What strategy could possibly be involved in talking about a thing? What’s happening is plain and simple: The left is talking about the files, about the fascism, about everything, but the right isn’t listening and the center is only listening to the superficial stuff. This isn’t a problem that can be fixed by acting more strategically, only by adopting a better strategy.

            The Bernie - Trump pipeline is not real. People turned to the right or center because the left lost the plot a long time ago. It’s so ineffective and most people can see the collapse of it. It’s in the same state the right was before they took a hard right to the fringe. It will get worse and worse each year.

        Right you’re totally right and proving my point. They elected a child rapist who eats weird and still the left lost and everybody knows that Biden is senile.

        It’s like we’re all cooks on a baking show and every time our cake comes out deflated and looking like shit but nobody is trying to figure out why. Instead we’re calling the chefs with nice cakes a bunch of Nazis. It does nothing to get us to achieving a proper competitive product and there is no reflecting within the team about why the product fucking sucks

        Right and we are social media. The left are supposedly a much bigger population. Just by city alone. Did you see how many people drive across the country to stand in streets?

        So what is stopping is from surpassing the media and online presence to overwhelm it with a message like they do when Biden blinks weird?

        What the fuck are they doing that we can’t figure out.

        Why does it seem like nobody else is pissed off at the left for not being able to do what they do?

        Is the strategy at this point to wait until the public gets tired of watching the left get their shit kicked in by bullies?

        I’ve opened Lemmy today to see if anyone is posting Marc Maron because I fucking know they’re not. I’m here to verify why we can’t engage the public. We’re lazy. All these people posting how they’ll punch a Nazi. But there’s a lot of other places they can intervene before then. But so many on the left are just talk like that while the right are actually about action. It’s maddening.
