    So the party does everything it can to lock out the left and you blame the left for not being able to start from the bottom.

      Is it surprising to you that those in power act to keep themselves in power? If it is surprising maybe it’s time to brush up on your theory. Das Kapital may be the seminal work on the topic, but as a California native i think Huey P Newton is more relevant to modern American life and better illustrates how bottom-up organization is more effective for creating actual change

        No. It shouldn’t have surprised me that centrists would blame the left for the actions of centrists to fuck them over, either.
