(7,865 posts)Dear gods we have been kicking and screaming and protesting and letter writing for years. It is the damnable moderates that have been shrugging and ignoring reality. What a twisted worldview to imagine the very people most active and most issue bound and most interested in progressive issues in general are the ones that caused this mess.
It is like blaming canaries that squak in a mine for the cave in.
No one on the left has been ignoring right wing media and the moderates and conservadems have been enabling it. But go ahead, blame the left for the inactivity of moderates and the capitulation of conservative democrats that created the shift. Don't blame the Reagan Democrats, the Southern Strategy, the Democratic Leadership Committee, no definitely blame the left.
It was not the left that abandoned the word 'liberal' or 'left' it was the moderates. they conceded the fight before it even began.
Really, your argument doesn't make a damned bit of sense. If only there was a reporting mechanism for illogical argumentation.
