So why is the left not pushing hate and rhetoric?

I don't give a crap how they do it, I just care about them actually having some degree of policty control. It's called politics, they should try it sometime.

It's not like there aren't left-friendly targets for hate, and yet left-wing parties have been remarkably incompetent at pushing the same demagoguery on billionaires or corporations than the right uses for migrants or trans people.

Once again, deflection instead of self-assessment. The dog ate my campaign strategy, apparently.

Hate is a pretty shallow thing.

I have no time at all for pushing hate agendas by any party. I don’t hate billionaires, corporations, police, politicians, or even trump and elon. I sure have contempt for them and would love them gone, but not hate.

But I don't care about you. I care about winning elections.

You seem already convinced, which makes you irrelevant. It's about building a mass movement that is zealously on board. Even if you were lost to the cause, that'd be a good move if ten people came in to replace you.

So what is it? Is hate "far easier to get people on side", or is it a fruitless "shallow thing"? Either way it's been incompetently mismanaged by leftist movements, with fascist extremists successfully leveraging it to excite and engage voters, and younger ones especially, while left-wing parties languish.
