The key difference between the relationships that last and the ones that don’t is that the ones that make it are compose

Some blamed far-left violence on “far-right provocateurs,” as did Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes after a progressive state senator was beaten up by protesters. Some backed down from statements condemning both police brutality and rioting, as Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) did on Twitter. Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan (and some mainstream media outlets) defended the city’s cop-free anarchist enclave before the rainbows-and-roses fantasy ended in two murders. And even the criticism of riots has often been weak compared to the Democrats’ full-throated condemnations of racism.

These same emotions that may be stirring inside of you as new and vulnerable experiences, may be the same emotions that get you left behind if you’re emotionally invested with an emotionally unavailable partner.

On a related issue, it’s unquestionable that “defund the police” and/or “end policing as we know it” are slogans that have a sizable following among Democrats. (Although “defund” doesn’t mean “abolish,” using eliminationist language to refer to issues of safety and policing is just terrible branding.) In June, a majority of the Minneapolis City Council actually adopted a pledge to dismantle the police force and replace it with a new system of “public safety.” (Now, some council members are backing away from it and saying that “dismantle” is up for interpretation.) Abolition or even significant reduction of policing, by the way, is not a popular stance with the black community.

Behind every woman who stays with a man who can’t commit is that man promising her they have a supernatural connection. Behind every man who stays with a woman who doesn’t love him is a woman who does care, sometimes, just enough. Behind every person who stays despite the verbal abuse is a partner promising that they’ll do better, and proving it just long enough to be convincing. Behind every lukewarm couple is a flame that flickers just bright enough, just often enough, to keep it sustained.

These same emotions that may be stirring inside of you as new and vulnerable experiences, may be the same emotions that get you left behind if you’re emotionally invested with an emotionally unavailable partner.

Back in August, in an article warning that the protests could become a liability for Democrats in the election, I pointed out numerous instances in which both mainstream progressive outlets and a number of Democratic politicians were reluctant to condemn violence and lawlessness.

In our explanations, we (and by “we” I mean anyone, but specifically anti-“woke” liberals and centrists) should avoid the “everything validates my premises” mindset: it probably wasn’t the word “Latinx” wot done it. But there is a lot of evidence that the shift was in large part a reaction to the surge in far-left progressivism: many cited fears of socialism/communism, concerns about the Democrats being anti-oil industry, and social justice protests that turned violent. (Abortion is also a major factor, but that’s not a change from earlier years.)

People don’t couple up with the wrong person, they choose who they think is the best option, only later to actually get to know them and realize they were wrong. People don’t hang onto almost relationships because they are naive, they stay because there’s just enough good, just enough promise, just enough hope to keep them coming back.

When you’re caught between wanting to stay and go, dreaming of the sister life you could have had if you’d followed another path, and the life that could be yours if you stick it out, is there a way to know what to do?

Field has a valid point when she argues that some analysis of the left’s negative impact on the Democrats’ performance at the ballot box (evident not only in their relatively poor results in the congressional and Senate elections but in Biden’s closer-than-expected win) has relied on iffy data — specifically, exit polls that may be unreliable. I agree that, especially in an election that relied heavily on voting by mail, extrapolations from exit polls (supplemented with surveys targeting mail-in voters) require caution — particularly with regard to specific demographics such as college-educated whites. But does this necessarily undercut critiques of the left?

You notice it when the shit starts hitting the fan; when you realize you’re all-in, maybe for the first time in your life. You notice the push-pull as the relationship starts triggering you, both positively and negatively. You may be feeling things you’ve not experienced before, or maybe you’re now seeing you were emotionally unavailable yourself and the love you’re feeling has made you want to push through your own emotional limitations.

For instance, Field rightly challenges Andrew Sullivan’s claim, based on early exit-poll data, that college-educated white voters skewed toward Trump much more than was expected: in fact, it appears Trump’s biggest net loss in support across any demographic from 2016 to 2020 was college-educated whites, especially men. But the critique Field cites also mentions a different demographic with which Trump did have an unexpectedly good showing, though not enough to save his bacon: Hispanic voters. This apparent fact is a pretty huge slap in the face to “woke” ideological premises. It even supports a claim made by critics of “wokeness” such as Georgia State University Ph.D. candidate Zach Goldberg: that white progressives are the main driver of the recent years’ leftward shift on social issues and are now substantially to the left of minorities.

There will be more than one occasion in which you think you’ve met your soulmate. They’ll send sparks into your core, the love maps will align, and you will be sure, by the virtue of your overwhelming feelings, that you have found the one person who is right for you.

Of course, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not radical leftists, and attempts to portray them as such by pro-Trump propagandists have been egregiously dishonest (such as repeated claims that Biden did not really condemn this past summer’s protest-related violence). But the perception that radical leftism or “wokeness” is influential in the Democratic Party and in mainstream progressive circles is hardly unfounded.
