No. I think Soros Accountant may be falling prey to existential polarisation which is causing him to miss what you are actually saying because you are not focusing on the right enemy in the short-term (tho you are in the long-term).

We shall see, I suppose. I don't think lefties constantly bashing on other lefties is the right way to go about this. It is one thing to be critical of the left, but to ever only be critical of the left is, I think, going to cause fractures among the left.

Was it though? Pretty sure that article was him explaining why he focuses on criticism of the left.

Can I suggest you read it again. You'll find it says that hardliner right and the far-left are unlikely to be swayed by persuasion.

And what of the not so hardliners who are just sick of lefties constantly throwing other lefties under the bus? My aversion to this 'new center' crap is that all it seems like, to a significance degree, is a 'fuck the left' movement. With nothing but 'lefties bad' messages.

Well, argue with people doing that then! I'm not wasting any more time defending a bloody good essay against something it never said. Read the manifesto we wrote together & you'll see why we think you take the wrong approach. Tribalism won't fix this. Lefties must fix the left
