The left has a lot of hostility in general. Towards men, towards centrists, towards white people, and towards the right.

As a centrist, it's really disappointing to see, because at this time when the right has dropped the ball and sacrificed stability and moral soundness for power and populism, we need the left to be welcoming people with open arms, educating them, and encouraging voting in general.

Instead, there's scorn and rejection, and denial of that scorn and rejection if it's brought up - or even just doubling down on "they deserve it".

And so, they feed their opposition, because they can't take the time to find a common ground. Being seen to be "the right one" is more important to them - and they'll "win" their way into a hole.

Is it the left's fault the right are like an infested cricket hopping to its watery demise? No. But it's their fault they rely on the easy lies of hate - that their position is morally superior, and so people who don't agree are shit. Anything you're accused of, just point at the whipping boy, and whip harder, because the right are so clearly wrong, you don't have to inspect your own life.

Eventually, people will wake up. ..or, one side will "win", and try to suppress the views of the other, which will eventually pop up again anyways, because of the duality in the human mind. In either case, after a while, we'll rinse and repeat.
