We're not just talking about the presidential election. It looks nice when you do, but it ignores the fact Democrats have hemorrhaged seats at all levels of government.
One quick and easy way to know the "Snowflake Liberals" are not far left is easily seen in their misuse of anthropology concepts and reliance on post modernism to attack the system, and how they defend Islam. The Far Left is not known for defending religion. Typically, in the Far Left, no matter the religion it's viewed as a means of control and oppression. And these Snowflakes don't champion Socialism, they go on about keeping Capitalism in place, but making it more equitable. The Snowflakes also tend to cry and get angry when they hear someone like Sam Harris or Jordan Peterson talk, revealing themselves to be traitors of Left Wing ideology as a whole with their illiberal positions that seek to destroy freedom of speech.
They exist just as much as the Snowflake Liberals. But groups are a malignant cancer on society, and the Dems and Reps need to denounce both groups lest these vocal minorities push the majority into a position of being irrelevant.
When speaking of American politics, I tend to use American standards of Left and Right. Liberals, as a group, aren't very far away from the center in terms of "how far" Left they are.
You can't use just the presidential elections to gauge how in or out of touch either party is with Americans. Cities like New York, Seattle, and LA add way more Democrat votes than what a number of rural/red states can produce. Outside of the large cities, people aren't voting Democrat in droves.
He's also one of the few who openly denounces and criticizes religion, and he is aligned with the likes of Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. So, yeah, he's gonna **** some people off. He also has a bit of dark humor and some overtly politically incorrect humor, which don't appeal to many people.
Because metropolises and rural areas all have Americans living in them. In presidential elections, without the support of "fly over America," Republicans win because of the electoral college, because the democrat strongholds are big cities, with few here and there scattered about. To win presidential elections, the democrat nominee pretty much has to appeal to the pro-union democrat leaning scattered about in otherwise lands that are largely Conservative Republican leaning. But, increasingly, the cater to focus on the metropolis areas and do become out of touch with one of their big key demographs, while the Republicans get in touch with those rural voters based on Conservative values.
I can't think of a time that Democrats actually focused on issues in a serious well thought-out way. They're too busy slinging poo or making backroom deals to get votes to bother with anything trivial like issues of State.
You notice the pattern too? You could say the poles flip just about every 8 years.
It's not criticizing when you ban someone from speaking because of their thoughts and opinions given certain subjects. It's not criticism when you uninvite an invited speaker. That's what the "Snowflake Liberal" does. They go beyond mere criticism, and label people like Bill Maher, Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins as bigots because they criticize Islam and the concept of religion.
