What's interesting about this to me is that 1) those of us on the left lament the lack of this exact kind of collective organizing and strategizing. It isn't happening now, but 2) historically, this has been a tactic of many on the left, especially via democratic centralism, where decisions are made collectively and are then followed as a group, to present a united front.
And honestly, he isn't entirely wrong that the right, on the grassroots level, is also relatively disorganized/undisciplined. there are militant groups and such that are more organized but even they can be pretty lax/sloppy. Where the right is better organized is at the high-up levels, the various think tanks, PACs, CEO summits, whatever, those are all pretty organized, well resourced, and effective,
