77. the main reason
The main reason that we have no coordinated and effective opposition movement here, in my opinion, is because those who are politically active and aware are so thoroughly co-opted and gentrified. They block any and all organizing and suppress the national political discussion. A very small handful of upscale and relatively privileged people and their sycophants, dominate all politics on the Left - such as it is - and work tirelessly to sabotage anything before it can start.

The people are ready to organize and resist. The liberal and Democratic party activists are blocking that.
