I get that it must be frustrating to never see the people you support win elections. But this relentless drumbeat against elites that the left indulges in feeds populism just as surely as the narratives of the far right. Undermining trust in our liberal institutions may help bring about a revolution, but it’s unlikely to be the kind you’ll like.

I don’t mean to interrupt your favourite patronizing schtick, but when the comment is specifically about centrist “liberals” cozying up to populists spouting fascist rhetoric to defeat liberal ideas, you saying that “liberalism is under attack” from “both sides” means you’ve completely missed the point so hard it has to be on purpose. Who mentioned elites? Who mentioned revolution? Did you just pull this post out of a bank you have ready to go whenever people mock “centrist Liberals”?
Remember when you fawned over “centrist Liberals” like Jordan Peterson? You ever think, maybe, you don’t actually know where the real danger to Liberalism is coming from and are informed entirely by your own biases?
