To be fair, it's hard to impeded what stupidity and incompetence have already undermined.

Why, for example, do liberals who routinely insist they support more ambitious progressive programs in their hearts, only rejecting them for now on pragmatic grounds, nonetheless oppose any such leftward movement when it becomes a realistic possibility? Why do they take up that opposition with a special enthusiasm, one that often feels more aggressive and personal than their rejection of their official rivals on the right?

Why don't they do all the stuff I want seems like a constant refrain from the left now. Which is fine and all but the notion that Bernie's now pushing that it's a political panacea is a bit annoying. Not even he thought that or he would have actually tried to win the endorsement by contesting the Dem primaries in the south.
Anyway, it's absolutely true that the center left doesn't really stand for anything at the moment, and the things it needs to stand are idea from it's leftish values, but no, Bernie would not have won.
Otherwise, that essay really didn't need the Freud.
