Because they are. The right has driven an increasingly successful wedge between them as a response to their effectiveness. Some on the left have swallowed that pill out of fear of a whitelash. You keep saying that the left is tearing itself apart..but from where I sit, it's winning every front..culturally and politically.
The fever pitch of the white genocide narrative coming out of the right establishes as much, even if they're utter nutballs. Personally, IDK if the left as it is winning is the best thing for america, or if the tools that the left has used to do so are the best tools...but hey. It works.
Weinstein, the self described "left libertarian" who opposed a white grievance grab at a college?

Quote:"There is a huge difference between a group or coalition deciding to voluntarily absent themselves from a shared space in order to highlight their vital and underappreciated roles (the theme of the Douglas Turner Ward play Day of Absence, as well as the recent Women's Day walkout), and a group encouraging another group to go away," Weinstein wrote. "The first is a forceful call to consciousness, which is, of course, crippling to the logic of oppression. The second is a show of force, and an act of oppression in and of itself."So.....um, which racial identity politics faction do -you- imagine got all up in a tizzy about that?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
