Do you think the left has dropped the ball?

because I do.

A recent post asks what the appeal of Nick Fuentes is, and it seems super apparent to me...

people have concerns about immigration. but they can't talk to the left about it because they're just labelled as racist and disregarded

people have concerns about our institutions. but they can't talk to the left about because because they're labelled as idiots and disregarded

people have concerns about a host of things and have ZERO places to voice those opinions and have open, honest conversations about them... so, they turn to people like Fuentes because they're the only ones who will touch these topics.

perfect example imo, COVID... people had concerns about the vaccine, our response to the pandemic and the transparency of our institutions around these things and instead of hosting open, honest, democratic conversations about these things, the lefts media apparatus essentially just said "shut the fuck up you dummy horse-paste drinker, take the shot"

well... guess what, now we have RFK Jr and MAHA destroying 100 years of public health gains.

I think this example is replicable across a wide domain of negative backlashes against the system we are seeing now.

I think the left dropped the ball and we need to do better
