This comment is extremely vague and overly feels-based and anecdotal.
> [the left] doesn’t seem to care about: [long list of random things]
Based on what? This sounds like you didn't even check, didn't ask, probably weren't even going to look.
> For example, a white male friend of mine is utterly crippled by trauma from his absentee dad. He doesn’t feel like anyone in his broader community cares about him and his problems at all.
Could be worse, could be that your parents kick you out and your broader community actively wants to make you illegal.
The left, on the other hand, wants affordable healthcare, which includes coverage for mental illness and access to therapy.
Your friend's feelings of alienation is a small part of a much larger social problem the left cares deeply about.
For everything else, it sounds like maybe you expected """the woke left""" to show up randomly and magically solve all your friend's problems? They don't run society, they're not in charge, they're barely holding off their own problems. Mutual aid networks are a lot of work, especially when you're not bankrolled by billionaires.
