It's interesting to watch the American Democratic party fall into the same bitter recriminations that have consumed Canada's NDP - it's not us that's wrong, it's the voters.
Canada also shows the remedy - Liberalism still has legs. Canada simply takes the world as it is, fights hard for its own beliefs and interests, doesn't confuse bold action for populism, and makes no apologies for doing what it must in the face of adversary near and afar.

Given the choice, Centrists always side with fascists or the right. #LifeLesson You can't trust centrists. Example:
"the leader of the ailing Liberals, Simona Mohamsson, shocked her party last month by abruptly switching positions on SD, announcing that her party would accept being in government with a far-right force she had previously denounced as racist. She also held a press conference alongside Åkesson in which they hugged."

"Many liberals, after the double shock of Trump and Brexit in 2016, confessed their supposed mistakes and performed contrition, along the lines of: we failed to pay attention to the “left-behind”; we must book political safaris in Appalachia; we must closely study Hillbilly Elegy to demonstrate compassion for the heartland. Of course, self-criticism and checking one’s priors is a good thing. But behind the ostentatious displays of “we failed to listen” was also a profound narcissism: if only we acted (or at least talked) differently, all would be well. Only liberals, or so the assumption goes again, have agency; performing contrition reinforced that flattering image.
Even worse, this narcissism keeps shoring up the right’s claim that there is a “real America” and that only they speak for it. As any viewer of Sunday-morning shows has noticed, Republicans can malign city dwellers without anyone batting an eyelid; Obama saying something about guns and religion in rural areas triggers a multiyear scandal. It would not even occur to anyone to demand an apology from GOP members for insulting all urban dwellers. The asymmetry is taken for granted; liberals just accept it. This is what victory in a culture war looks like: Democrats accept the cultural framings enforced by the other side, even though polls would suggest that the liberals’ positions are often more popular (or, dare one say, reflect more about “real America” than the far-right fantasies pushed by Fox and its far-right friends)."

[…] authoritarian liberals who, once in power, consider resorting to force because they know full well that their policies are unpopular; those same authoritarian liberals who want to form an alliance with the far right, who back down because it wants too much, and finally take a gamble on entrusting it with power…"
Johan Chapoutot wrote about Germany in 1932

The problem I see is that #Centrism seems to have had no answers to #ClimateChange.
And if you've been around while climate change has rolled on across the decades then you're going to have to tell us why you've been ineffective so far.
And how that is going to change now.
So what's been happening #AnneApplebaum and #MalcolmTurnbull?
