I like that American left are miserable

[TaraJo]

You know what pisses me off about the American left?  This is something I've noticed over the past few years of being involved with some very VERY left wing communities:  the left adamantly refuses to compromise their message, even the slightest, even if it helps them better communicate good ideas.  There's a kind of frustrating intellectual elitism going on with it.  

Meanwhile, I watched a documentary about far right groups, especially white nationalist groups and, you know what?  They took the exact opposite route: they're hiring PR people and gladly changing their messages in order to take terrible, hateful ideas and make them more likable, more popular, to the public.  

The far right seems to care about PR and public opinion far more than the far left.  And, by the way, that plays a role in the country gradually moving to the right and with republicans winning so many elections with candidates that would make Forrest Gump look like a genius.  

I wish the left would actually acknowledge that to promote their ideas, their ideology, they're going to have to work with the public instead of just trying to piss off as many people as possible.

Is this Satire?  Cause it's hard to tell.

The left are the party of compromise.  That's why we got Obamacare instead of Single Payer Healthcare. 

The Alt-Right on the other hand, solely do things to piss off the left.  That's why you've got a bill in Missouri that requires all adults over the age of 18 to own an AR-15.  That's why there's constant talks of banning abortion.  They DO NOT compromise.  It's their way or the highway.

So either this has it completely backwards, or it's satire that's become difficult to tell because of the political atmosphere we have today.

Yes, that's part of the problem:  Our elected officials will compromise left and right, constantly.  But many of our pundits, they won't compromise anything.  Democrats have good ideas, but they're shit at sticking with those ideas and they're even worse at communicating them with moderates who actually decide elections.
