The Left appears to continue to make itself ir-relevant and you can see that every day on this board. I am forced to think that they engage in artificially extrapolated, static assumptions about zero-sum ideological politics because they want government failure, no matter how much that hurts anyone else, NOT because they actually intend to succeed with an authentic Left agenda at this point (because they can't do that as they have not taken that risk with one another as yet) and it appears that they want to pretend that WHEN that agenda does manifest itself and WHAT exactly that agenda is, what it's priorities are and how they will achieve them (other than a "destroy-it-all-let-'god'-sort-them-out" strategy) doesn't matter.

That's what it looks like from where this Leftie sits.
