Because they’re still mad that their team lost and they’re too blinded by their hatred of the out-group to see any possibility of revolution or unity beyond the electoralism that has once again failed them for glaringly obvious reasons, which they refuse to recognize, because it’s easier to blame scapegoats; sexists, racists, minorities that don’t vote the way they’re supposed to, people who are just too stupid for their own good; than to admit they or their party should have done anything differently and simply isn’t up to the task of defending against fascism. They aren’t interested in “root causes”, or material reality, or even their own party’s rhetorical strategy; only the letter next to the names of their politicians.
In other words, they have fallen into exactly the same patterns as the enemy they so vehemently oppose. Scratch a liberal.
Yeah, the Democratic Party, a liberal institution, is not practicing any left-wing populism. That’s the whole problem. Bernie was the closest, AOC and The Squad show promise. The DNC is only interested in keeping the large donors that fund both parties happy. Pressure from grassroots organizations and opposition are our best bet imo
