This is my biggest beef with the Left. There was an article in the NY Times about how the Right took over the NRA. Back in the 1970s the NRA was a hunting club. Some smart pols came in and turned it into a money making machine.

I am trying to understand what that has to do with the topic of the thread. Or what manner of “beef with the left” you have due to the described situation
The topic of the thread is the death of the American dream. We lost the class war because the Left wasn’t focused on the actual mechanics of achieving political power. My ‘beef’ is that many Left organizations seem to think that getting a million people to march will solve things, while the Right knows that putting $100,000 in the correct pocket will do much more.
