There is no popular left in the US, we have a center-right neoliberal party who rat-fuck all competition to the point their base has given up.

The corporate owners of social and news media pick the issues they want people to talk about and it is never anything I think is particularly compelling. Why do we care about a tiny fraction of a fraction of the US population's preferred pronouns again? Because nobody has to spend any money to fix that, unlike actually important things like environmental collapse.
