The Unmitigated and the Failures of the American Left

Lash doesn't give it either of these movements a fair hearing and then say why they're not fair elements of success on the part of the American left. There's very good reasons to say why both of them are not, but Lash doesn't use the same as the failures and the unmitigated. The only way third parties have ever really been able to have an effect in America is by voter base threatening upsetting and then consolidating with a major party. So if you're someone like Lash and isn't dealing with this and you want to talk about why that went wrong, I think all of Lash's culture stuff and his training as a cultural historian just doesn't help him there.
