In hindsight, a lot of the left was nothing but an extension of the Democratic Party—a party that long ago purged all its New Deal and Great Society elements. Canada's left is the same. The local "communists" are jab-happy dipshits, who abandoned the working class long ago.
I've been trying to come up with a compassionate explanation for their conduct. It's not easy! It might be a waste of time, too. My hope is that compassion would yield something practicable. Confrontation and rebukes have not. But they might not be reachable at all. Not many people are.
