      My takeaway is that a large number of people HATE the cultural left (not the econ left) and are willing to put up with almost anything, including incompetence, chaos, corruption and bad policy, to signal their views loud and clear.

      I think it's not just the values of the left, but the elitist intolerance with which they're maintained. The values would probably seem more palatable if they were accompanied by humility instead.

          It's not about compassion though, its about status and wealth preservation.

          How much of the left is actually elitist and intolerant? Isn’t this more of a perception problem than reality?

          i definitely think Dems have a huge marketing/branding problem. Rs are good at that (one buzzword repeated over and over again, even if its not true (ex. "socialism"), even though we both know Democrats are far from "socialist"

          Which group of people in politics or in American culture is humble ?

          Or maybe, just maybe, it's that "left values" are presented to most Americans through the most toxic and distorted filters imaginable, every day, on repeat.

          That seems a stretch, given Biden’s tone and messaging

          Problem is, part of the belief of the cultural left is that you’re not a good person and shouldn’t participate in society unless you agree with them. That’s why I hate them, anyway. I don’t like coercion

          People who didn’t even make it far in the primaries? I like them but I don’t think they’re popular or in a position to gain popularity.
