The right have what they want. Often with a minority of the voters.
Who else to blame for the failing of the left but the left.
They’re disadvantaged by the system but don’t make changes to fix it.
Given the system in place the left do not unite. While the only way to win is a party of a broad coalition.
The last republican to win the popular vote without being an incumbent was 35 years ago. Yet given close results and chances to turn elections in their favour the left have lost multiple times and have a 6-3 loss on the supreme court.
In the UK we’ve not had a united left wing party since the Iraq war in government or in opposition.
We’ll see what happens in the elections this year.
But yes. I blame “the left” as a disorganised majority for losing to an organised majority.
If electoral reform has been put through while the left had power I’d have more sympathy. But it wasn’t. Either the left is willing to empower the majority of it isn’t. It’s either going to try and win democratically or win with its own minority. Disenfranchised people like the right does.
