"Meanwhile, the folks on the left who are the most disgruntled tend to argue that there is some group that is preventing then from obtaining the change they seek.
What they don't seem to want to consider is the possibility that it is their approach, and not some scary group, that causes them to fail."

For some, the poutrage is everything - and they refuse to be distracted away from that poutrage by such trivial matters as what is happening to their fellow citizens in the real world.
I would suggest they form their own party, The Perpetually Poutraged - no heavy lifting required: no supporting a candidate, no financial contributions to be made, no time or effort expended on electing suitable office-seekers. All one has to do is post on a political message board 24/7 complaining about anything and everything.
