      It's not remotely narcissistic. The good thing about liberal individualism is that its for *everyone*. It's about supporting the right of everyone to achieve their personal ambitions & not be constrained by their group identity. https://twitter.com/voicehaver/status/949679332737286145 …

          What would 'being electable again' have to do w the left? Centrists have been losing w increasing regularity over 30+ years culminating in 2010-2016. Democrats were practically a political monopoly until the Third Way era.

          Maybe the problem isn't the left at all, maybe the problem is that the fundamental worldview of "individualism" is shared by both parties & ignores the actual real world outcomes, particularly as it pertains to economics & to racial disparities.

          Maybe the left & the idea of a collaborative society that shares responsibility, respects life & protects its citizens have been stifled so much, for so long, that you all sound like deluded reactionaries mostly interested in protecting your own gains.

          All the kids shivering in unheated schools, getting permanent brain damage from lead poisoned water, or getting shot down for not obeying some armed sociopath arent getting a chance to be individuals, bc SOCIETY is failing them. And only COLLECTIVELY can we right that.

          Well, yeah. Single payer healthcare is a must. That's not a far-left identitarian position tho. You can advocate that quite sanely and draw people in. I'm in the UK. Even most of our conservatives value that.

          Agreed, but the problem is our corporate Democrats in the USA are either outright against #SinglePayer or only pander to it. That's why we need progressives to run in the USA if we want to win in 2018 and 2020. Do you not understand this? The #McResistance is a losing strategy.pic.twitter.com/bFX3SXQGZo
