Here is a very interesting piece discussing the failures of the radical left. For this author, the key failure is that they represent only a culture of criticism and dissent. They have abandoned politics for disillusionment.
He also suggests that the pervasive culture of distrust and disgust has served the rise of the radical right. They articulate all the problems in society without providing any positive energy. The right has accepted the diagnosis and proposed its own course of treatment.
Enjoy. . .

They might consider the possibility that they painted themselves into a corner apart from their countrymen and women.
That sums it up perfectly. Off the top of my head I can't recall many times the left has said what's going good in America
People want to hear good news, hence the popularity of politicians and pundits who inspire pride in the country. . . right or wrong.
