    Progressives, and to a much larger and more real extent, left economic populists, left populists I should say, can win.

    So the right surreptitiously helps the Joe Bidens and macrons and starmers be the opposition so they can take it from them.

    Part of that includes leaning on social media to force off leftists that make those politicians look like assholes.
