True, but when Joe Biden is considered a leftist, what is one suppose to do? Considering the failures of the Justice Democrats, even the term "Progressive" has no meaning when trying to talk about the "real left" (as you call it).

A new party will have to emerge, but I am not so sure we are yet enlightened enough to create an effective one here.

I also had some affiliation with Tom Hayden's CAMPAIGN FOR ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY early on. I dabbled a lot.

Yes, I joined and promoted after Bernie dropped out, and helped with some networking. Hope they can get over the growing pains. I am one of the original US Greens. I first voted alt for POTUS 1980, for Barry Commoner.

Yes, for the time being, we are buried under this rubble and have to dig our way out. We have decades of this toxic identity politics that will need to be deconstructed and demonetized.
