I think a lot of comments are missing the obvious. The right spent so much time and energy convincing everybody that everybody else was corrupt that their base and the ingrained whataboutism mindset makes it okay. And on the left we’re afraid to follow their lead and do what they did, openly accuse and do the performative endless investigations that the right engaged in for so long. Instead, the left stands by and allows it to happen because they know they don’t have the votes to do anything substantial. Even with the mountains of evidence of corruption, the left knows the right will fall in line and never impeach or hold anyone accountable.
You’re right, except for one crucial detail: the Democrats refusing to do anything AREN’T left of center. They’re Neoliberals,
sometimes borderline paleoconservatives.
Neoliberalism is a center right to right wing ideology based around a core of Keynesian pro-capital dogma, with letting "the little people“ have rights being surface level window dressing to sell the mission of protecting the financial and societal structures of Reagan and Clinton.
Not just from the fascists that wants to make everything much WORSE than it was in 1980-1999 or thereabouts, but also the ACTUAL left who wants to progress BEYOND that capitalist golden age.
As such, the LEFT, like your Kats Abughazaleh, your Coris Bush, and your Zohrans Mamdani are NOT afraid to take drastic action where necessary and WILL do so when the right wing DNC get out of the way.
