> What is the fascination with the left? Collectivism is fundamentally evil. Equating leftism with egalitarian outcomes is naive at best. Cuba, the Soviet Union and others exemplify what happens when leftism triumphs - only the elites are well off. The rest suffer equally. If the democrat party wants to recover, move to the center. Otherwise, they’re done. Let me swap out some of the words to demonstrate how overly generalized your argument is. > What is the fascination with the right? Capitalism is fundamentally evil. Equating rightism with fair outcomes is naive at best. DOGE, Project 2025, and "White House seeks plan for possible Russia sanctions relief" [1] exemplify what happens when rightism triumphs - only the dictators are well off. The rest suffer equally. If the Republican Party wants to recover, move to the center. Otherwise, they’re done. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43250070 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43250070
