I'm starting to think the "disorganized left" thing is kinda bullshit. The right clearly has infighting, even at the highest level, and the left has been organizing protest after protest.
I can't go a day on lemmy without seeing someone arguing about how people like Sanders and AOC might as well be "liberals" because they're not "true leftists" and how we shouldn't vote for them because they're not far enough left.
We saw it in the 2024 election when people refused to vote at all because Harris wasn't far enough left.
I've seen more people shit talking other left leaning people over single issues than I have any kind of infighting on the right.
Sounds like you're spending too much time online and not out talking to groups and people in person. I started volunteering late last year and lefty groups who are actually doing something get along way smoother than people just talking online.
Anarchists, Leftists, Socialists, and Democrats.
What do they all hate 1000X more than they hate eachother?
Trump.
Organized and unified by sheer spite.
I'd argue it's not simple spite. Spite implies it's an irrational hatred, being a sore loser. The guy is a danger to pretty much everyone.
