How did Boris Johnson become the Prime Minister of the UK? Because he was all that was left. We don’t have leaders anymore in the mainstream parties, we have managers. (Nancy Pelosi’s granddaughter let the cat out of the bag a few years ago as she crowed about how proud she was her grandma destroyed the careers of anyone who threatened neoliberalism)

(Neoliberalism effectively makes left wing economic politics impossible, hence the rise of identity politics to feel the void) Those people are either disgusted/disillusioned with the existing political parties or they are purged from them. I’ve been saying for years that neoliberalism has purged politics, particularly on the left of anyone of any political purpose.
