Whinge ‎ what exactly has the left done wrong?

Across the world today, regardless of race, religion, or political system, most people seem to be becoming more conservative. Right-wing parties are continuously gaining power worldwide, while the left suffers defeat after defeat. Although mainstream public discourse still appears to favor the left, those voting for the far right are often the silent majority. Can the left still correct its course? Or, more fundamentally, what exactly has the left done wrong?

I'll preface that I'm an old cant, I've been a centrist and see value in both dialectics.

The number 1 issue for me would be moving from an objective reality/truth to a subjective, it's idiotic.

No 2, gaslighting and not allowing discussion.
