Good. You should be. Rayiner is pointing out a legitimate contradiction: that the actually existing coalition labeled "the Left" and the set of goals, values, and commitments that self-declare as "left-wing" are, in our present time and in certain places, contradictory. This leaves open the question of which one will be realigned to the other: the commitments, or the coalition?

I'm asking what he or you think the coalition that makes up the left is. Is it just a more derisive term for dems? Is it a subset of dems with specific policies? I'm asking for a definition of the term he and you are using. Not your critique of a group that I don't understand the definition of.

I would say I'm talking about the "progressive wing" of the Dems, such as "the Squad" and similar. The funny thing about that particular coalition in California is that it seems to have become a pro-rent-control, anti-construction, anti-tax NIMBY lobby on housing and infrastructure.
