Robert, Because people like Charles Murray have the power to sway bourgeois Democrats. We are mere cannon fodder in the faction fights of the ruling class. Because grassroots liberals don't set the political agenda, however, those outside the assimilated (remember 'constructive engagement and 7 of 9) will pose the danger of grassroots groundswells which need co-opting by the bourgeois Democrats--remember the anti-war movement. Because communists actually advocating communism should set the political agenda outside the halls Capital's power, especially now with the human race running into the wall of climate change and possible runaway climate change within the next 20 years. We should all realise that there Is No Alternative To Changing The Mode Of Production. TINATCTMOP.
Mike B) Robert wrote responding to Carrol: Liberals fight over what Democrats are doing because it's the only game in town. How many Greens are there is Congress? Zero. Maoists? Zero. Trotskyists? Zero. Anarchists? Zero. Democrats are on the playing field; that's why people care what they say and do. The "anti-Democratic Left" is not on the playing field, so no-one cares what they say and do.
