    No. Elsewhere in this thread I argue that there are a lot of political dimension each with a spectrum of positions.

    So if someone makes a massive generalisation and says “the left” don’t worship their political leaders, I feel it important to illustrate, with examples ,why that assumption is likely incorrect.

      Again, we were talking about a very specific left. And you have problems with understanding things like context.

        I believe that the general comment about the very specific left is false, and I gave examples why I think it is false.

        I haven’t yet heard any argument (never mind a good one) for why the statement that “the American left will never worship a politican” is true.

            I am quite happy to hear why I’m wrong. Maybe the American left in 2025 are special in some way. Somehow different from the rest of history.

            You have the floor…
