    yeah and that’s why they suck and people don’t like them.

    they don’t have a positive vision. their entire platform is ‘we’re not the other guys, they are bad’.

    they don’t lead. they just make excuses. and yeah, they don’t fix anything.

    What we need is leftists who… do something. Turns out… that’s very very appealing to voters. Just look at Mandami in NYC… guy articulated a clear vision and is executing it… and the voters adore him. But a lot of leftists HATE him because they… are so unable to get their heads out of their own asses and put form a legitimate and achievable platform of reform.

    The problem with most modern left-wing parties is they just… want to get into power and do nothing with the power.

      I think that’s a problem with most establishment parties everywhere. The pact between voters and ruling class was broken. Most career politicians don’t serve us any more. In EU you can at least argue that they want to preserve the system and uphold the law but everything is collapsing too fast and they are too divided and weak to stop it.
