But why do people feel so betrayed after older votes and actions should have triggered this much earlier? And will most of this go away soon?
Many still hope for the magical day when the dems become something that they structurally cant be. They love the idea more than the fact, of what these people represent. Same with Mamdani, tbh. People will be very heartbroken about him soon enough.
Too much “benefit of the doubt” is given, too much projection and power-level hiding cope and “they mean well”. They long to be heard and hear screams in whimpers.
I wonder if Lenin ever ceased to attack Kerensky so the tsar could be overthrown? If he ceased his criticism of the Trudoviks? If he spoke out in support of progressive reformist of the Kadets? A socialist is not the attack dog of democrats, they are not a “proud boys”- type militia to be called upon and leashed again.
I think that is the concept that libs and socdems have of the modern far left (especially in the us)
