- Liberals are more numerous and more popular than leftists. Since they can't change those numbers they can try to change the character of the movement to kick the liberals out. This will, by the numbers, make it smaller, less popular, and less effective.
- I find the @whstancil.bsky.social backlash strangely fascinating. At its core it seems to be a desperate effort by folks further to the left to avoid having a liberal (with communication skills) become the face of their movement. But, to be honest, winning was always going to require that.
