Why are left wing thinkers habitually misunderstanding reality? This is low resolution thinking that’s harmful to the left. But it seems like there’s nothing some left wing intellectuals love more than joining hands with right wing intellectuals to critique liberalism.

Maybe people are tired of flimsy moderates who think that this harebrained capitulation has strategic value. Senate Republicans will lock dems out of future negotiations, bc they know Schumer’s a coward and that dems can’t communicate rep policy failures to a general audience. It’s a win win.
