It's clear the actual problem was the left backed off from having any actual plan, didn't form a voting block, and still falls heavily into the trend of launching low effort projects that are immediately abandoned to follow whatever the trendiest thing in the news is. Like the problem with woke activism isn't where if they just used the right language the CIA would cry, it's that a lot of it is beholden to special interest groups and never develops any concrete goals beyond creating a market of what are basically secular mission trips for college students.
I'd probably be more sympathetic to the anti woke people if so many didn't do the too cool for school thing, but they help a lot of this happen. Using the "I'm a real deal class guy" to sell substack subscriptions, books, podcast, vlogs or whatever. To be fair to Glenn he was one of the people who did try to help last time to turn the left into something more practical, he was just one of the only ones from that side of the divide.
