Blaming leftists for leftist bullshit or blaming centrists for centrist bullshit, anyone can do that.

But blaming leftists for the failures of a centrist politician? That takes Yascha Mounk.

It's a pity the piece is such a crapfest, because "omnishambles" is such a fantastic word. It's like someone said "fucktastrophe" and a censor said "use this instead."

How leftists gave the Democratic Party the blueprint for 8 years of electoral success and also the key to renewed U.S. industrial competitiveness against China and how business friendly centrist Dems tossed a pick 6 to Donald Trump (and are about to do exactly that again)

I feel like I'm hallucinating. He vaguely gestures at the existence of Bernie and then says "see you forced them to pick Biden." And then claims the party needs to swing even more to the right. What?

The GOP is never responsible for the fascism they cultivate and the shitty people they nominate. They have no agency at all. If GOP is unable to control their own actions and solely act based on the Dems, why should they be put in charge of anything? They’re admitting they’re helpless.

I agree that Harris has significant weaknesses as a politician but this is an incredibly ugly way to put it. Also: A centrist candidate choosing another centrist as his running mate — still not the left's fault! Leftists hate Harris, that's actually one of her weaknesses.

The implied downward spiral from woman to of color (in scare quotes) to Black (uncapitalized) is straight anti DEI brain worms.
