yeah so I don’t really understand your position. You say you don’t advocate inaction yet above you say the left can’t organize around health-friendly lines? Which to me implies inaction on the Covid issue - why I accused you of advocating inaction.

But in any case I think that’s a bad attitude towards criticism. Venting is not in opposition to action, nor is feeling demoralized. If you’re sick of it that’s one thing, but people just trying to commiserate about a bad situation should be supported if anything, not torn down and accused of being delusional and useless

Of course you don't understand my position, you completely misread my point

The left is not in any position to organize society along health-friendly lines

I said the left does not have the power to organize SOCIETY along health-friendly lines, are socialists in charge of the CDC?

Who the hell is arguing the left’s failure has been not reorganizing society? Granted I hardly went through the full thread, but nearly all the comments I read were broadly in line with complaints I hear and make among the left that still masks - that many leftists and left wing orgs have essentially abandoned the Covid issue. Even the initial comment you quoted and criticized makes this criticism - the failure of left wing leaders is not their failure to reorganize society but their failure to hold to what should be left wing principles, instead following the cdc into Covid denialism
