Well, it's different because there aren't really enough of us to matter, and the dems aren't social fascists they're just regular fascists, and there's no ussr to save the world this time.

Who’s Rosa in this analogy?

Idk who is even cool on the left anymore?

It’s an extremely stretched, you have to squint to see it, analogy, but I guess Nader would be the closest figure. The Dems leveraged his 2000 campaign to convince libs and the center-left that any failure of the Dem establishment is the fault of ideological leftists and ergo any leftist who doesn’t bend the knee is not to be trusted. 20 some odd years later, here’s Kamala pitching to “Liz Cheney Republicans” rather than offering an inch to the left.

Nobody that's similarly prominent enough to be compared to even a wannabe Rosa tbh.
