The tale is that leftists can't tolerate people who differ from them ideologically and will split over the tiniest things; and even over the large things, we find it impossible to build broad coalitions against things we dislike and work against them, at least without forsaking leftism in the process.
It's silly to suggest this is something unique to leftists, or even more prevalent among us than other groups. It's just real fucking hard to create a sizable group where everyone can work together, especially if you're fighting an uphill battle and meaningful power or authority is scarce.
