What if the hard left reacts to the Democrats (welcome but also distracting from their real problems) shedding of Bodies and Spaces ideology/progressive puritanism by doubling down into it as the basis of their critique? So just as the Dems move away from cringe HR corporate memphis people aesthetics and 'ethical consumerism' the left moves in and is like HR SURVEILLENCE IS GOOD ACTUALLY
I mean I have seen the lunatic lumpen left/ushanka anime girl set shill for Amazon and claim boycotting it is 'ableist' or whatever so its not as far off as it sounds.
No doubt the DNC would support this trend to further discredit anyone to their left.
It's absolutely a (fucking grim) possibility. My thought (and my hope) is that the internet-brained faction of the left just cannibalizes to the point that it becomes isolated away from the purview of any real leftist action by alienating not only outsiders but members of their own coalition -- otherwise we're doomed to a left that more and more resembles that cringe DSA conference compilation.
Not to be a pessimist but in my professional opinion, the answer is *A.* "continue to exist around a cult of shame and guilt and continue to alienate the general public—in which case it will be left weighted down in the antechamber forever". For at this point, this is all I've seen of our beloved, so-called "left". A buncha whining and finger pointing. I've *specifically* seen a lot of finger pointing and shaming of the white working class, a group from which a plurality of people actually just don't vote.

Glad to see I am not the only person whose mind often defaults to DSA footage as the possible nightmare option.

Capitalizing "black" makes you seem like an unserious person.
Generally think it makes sense to capitalize the names of racial groups and ethnicities idk
Like I said, unserious. Also, stop hyphenating -ly adjectives. It's really sloppy and unprofessional.
lmao who are you our dad? Eat a dick
Deeply unserious. Keep at it, it'll probably make you pennies on substack. Unfortunately, an editor costs more than pennies.
