Indeed, it has.
Out of its hatred of Trump the left has united with the forces of evil and war that are leading to conflict with Russia. The left's hatred of Trump shows that the American left has totally separated from the interests of the working class, which elected Trump. The American left has abandoned the working class for the group victimizations and hatreds of Identity Politics. As Hillary put it, the working class comprises the "Trump deplorables." The Democratic Party, like the Republicans, represents the ruling oligarchy.
I have explained that the left wing lost its bearings when the Soviet Union collapsed and socialism gave way to neoliberal privatizations. The moral fury of the left wing movement had to go somewhere, and it found its home in Identity Politics in which the white heterosexual male takes the place of the capitalist, and his victim groups - blacks, women, homosexuals, illegal immigrants - take the place of the working class.
The consequences of the left wing's alliance with warmongers and liars is the left wing's loss of veracity. The left has endorsed a CIA orchestration - "Russiagate" - for which there is no known evidence, but which the left supports as proven truth.
Comment: Degradation of government, fragmentation of society, increasing authoritarian control, disregard for human life...can we still rise above this? Or has it all become too late?
