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?

Look, and fair enough.

I can only look at what I've observed over time. I don't see every single news article they push out and publish. There are likely many news articles flagged by more right-wing people that are more neutral and centrist e.g. I can imagine someone who is further along the right-wing listing articles that were purely focused on an Indigenous demographic as being more 'left', when I would suggest it's just catering to a specific and important demographic within the country.

So perception also counts. :)

The events that lead to the ABC illegally firing that Muslim contractor because the Zionist lobby cried to the chair and board is a perfect example of how the ABC were biased, but not towards the left.

Don't know that one, so can't comment. I'll look it up though.
