A big part of the left was just anti government, when the left got to be government that part broke away. The right got back with the obsession of staying in power. I believe that’s how the left lost so many votes. Not that they do wrong, they just lost numbers.

madcaesar@lemmy.world 9 months agoThe problem is that the left, progressives, whatever… are usually more open minded and liberal so they bicker and find nuance in EVERYTHING. Which is nice… But also a massive weakness when it comes to building strong coalitions.
The left is endlessly sub dividing… each group gate keeping harder than the previous… each one more white knighting than the previous with endless, useless infighting.
Meanwhile the right is like “brown people are to blame for everything!”
“Sounds, good here’s my vote…”

You’re probably speaking about a specific country, not the world in general

yep pretty much. left/progressives have no coherent narrative. just a bunch of sub-groups all trying to co-opt the narrative and bickering over whose group is the most important. and the right just picks the most absurd group an blasts the rest of the left as being part of that group.
