It would be nice if the far left, for once, did some introspection.

267. I would argue that more introspection is needed all around

However, we can only control our own introspection regardless of what we think others should do.

Also it's possible that they have done the introspection and still decided they are right, and maybe they are right coming from where they are coming from. We can't assume that just because they have a view different from ours or from the majority that they are wrong.

Some people who voted Green are just as convinced that the Democratic party gave us 45 as many in the Democratic party are convinced it was them. Maybe there's some truth to both views.

My personal view is that there are a lot of different causes for 45 that all came together into one big whole. Maybe in a much longer-term sense, it will actually turn out to be a positive thing for the country assuming we all survive it in the meantime! None of us would be here or in other places arguing so passionately about these things if we didn't care and weren't engaged in what was going on, even if we don't always agree.
