A lot of "leftism" in the US is self-defeating because Americans refuse to eliminate their racist beliefs or accept any criticism of remaining prejudices they still hold. The most recent example being condemnation of Venezuela and Cuba by so-called socialists in NYC.
As the saying goes, white people treat PoC the same way men treat women, which is the same way cishet people treat LGBTQ+ people. And because we live in a racist, sexist, queerphobic, classist, antisemitic, zionist, ableist, capitalist country, we are surrounded by those beliefs more than we are anti-bigoted views. This is further compounded by privilege and American Exceptionalism.
