> The meme that "reality has a liberal bias" is one of the things the left should be laughed at for pushing

This stuff hurts the democrat part which should be the party of the left behind middle class and poor.

Except the left keep pushing their party with a smug holier-than-attitude and wonder why the party that caught for labour and civil rights is not seem as the party of the elite and out of touch.

People glibly buy into the identity politics part as proof of dedication to the critical "unrepresented" working poor middle. They wanted someone to talk to them honestly about their problems, not get talked down to and pushing 1970s style labour "we're with you" campaigns to help fix the dying rust belt.

That was a lot cause but Hillary and her out of touch campaign completely failed to get these people.
