>>21662798left-wing politics have not been an effective national strategy ever. there are leftists and even radicals but none with real power. someone like chris hedges or noam chomsky would not get elected. we have token liberals like bernie sanders and about 20 minor politicians that get elected to the house that are actual leftists but they are kept well away from power and usually stupid and have narrow interests instead of a broad leftist platform. that said we had real leftists in the distant past and have a lot of legacy policies.
there's a lot of murky and strange things going on in america but we're not living under the bootheel of communist aoc or anything. that's just an effective slogan to stir up the base like 9/11 talk was 20 years ago. racist boomers and low-iq high-resentment type people are just the key demographic of the moment.
that said, a lot of these "leftists" are part of the ruling power bloc though, which is also murky and difficult to understand... but like nafo trannies are definitely real. i've seen them.
