"Rhetorical paper tiger arguments"
Bullshit.
The left has has gone even further left in a lot of ways since the 90s. Trying to say otherwise is retarded.
Trump sold our country to a hostile foreign actor who is currently mining our treasury. If there were a legitimate left opposition, citizens united wouldn’t have allowed this dark money takeover. We wouldn’t have gone to (clearly bullshit propaganda campaign) Iraq. We wouldn’t have turned the housing market over to speculators. But we did. So where was the left?
The idea of “the left” is a paper tiger because it clearly posed no threat to these big-money projects.
I have the same grievances as you about Dems being pussies. Nobody hates the Dems more than an actual left-leaning person…because they have no balls and they play not to lose. It’s hard to watch.
