as a leftist, i find the association and even appropriation of the left with indoctrinated feminist SJWs really quite appalling. Also, don't delude yourself, raph, into thinking that this specific cancer is unique to the "left". But i will admit, it is more prevalent in these types. Nothing has stopped our beloved tory government from pushing "feminist" dogma and policies for years now. this is the status quo.
honestly, the political situation we have in the UK right now is a joke. Both main parties are a joke for entirely different reasons. The greens are not pragmatic enough and split between "green greens" and "red greens" and tbh, are a bit incompatible. Both are incopetent and the alternatives are hopelessly naive or single-issue.
economically, the choice between rampant unfettered neoliberalism and deprecated irrelevant-in-globalised-economy keynesianism is like asking someone whether they would rather shoot or hang themselves.
i honestly don't see a good alternative solution being offered right now.
but i guess we learned to master the "Douche vs Turd" politics from america's dems vs reps joke.
The old left-vs-right binary is dead. Call these people what they really are. Hopelessly misguided, self-loathing SJWs.
