Comment on Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”

The Left is weaker. Period.

Ronald Reagan went after the unions and the GOP never stopped. The Unions used to do a lot of the groundwork for the Dems; things like getting petitions signed and monitoring voting. The Churches do that job for the GOP because ‘Right To Life.’

The Right has a fantastic ground game in US politics. They drive old folks to the polls on election day, put signs on lawns and in store windows, and send dozens of letters to any media outlet.

Another thing the Left does badly is break up into tiny splinter groups instead of uniting. In one town you’ll have one group pushing for bike lanes, and another angry about the schools, and a third with another agenda.
