Thought this might spur some decent discussion. Lots of libs in the comments but a few good points made.

Agreed. I just find it disturbing that OOP is seemingly proud of their vote for the Democrats, who essentially created the mainstream acceptable form of COVID denialism in the USA (and many other places) today. If anything, the problem with the US left is they have largely adopted the liberal position on this issue.

I agree the state of the discourse on this issue on this website is deplorable. I find it tolerable because it at least gets push-back here even in non-explicitly-COVID-focused spaces.

Sure, and if that were the heart of the post it might be worth going on about it, but it's not. This post is about people who have been abandoned getting mad at the folks they were told are their allies, their protectors. Some of these folks are libs, some of them are actual leftists, which is why there's such a broad spectrum of "leftists" being blamed in the comments; ZCC is a mishmash of folks largely there not by choice. In another thread, commentary like that usually gets more pushback. ZCC should be one of the ultimate grounds for Leftist agitation and radicalization, instead it's this.

Agreed, actually, you make a great point especially that ZCC should be the best space for leftist agitation. And re-reading OP in isolation (originally I just skimmed it and read the comments) it's clearly valid frustration. I guess I was just sensitive to the Democrat thing, because I remember watching in real-time as they acted as the vanguard of global COVID denialism.
