155. Lack of disclipine on the part of the left.
Loathsome as the right-wing may be, it is, for the most part, highly disciplined. Their message, even when delivered from various and overlapping sources, stays on track. They rarely throw one of their own overboard, unless s/he is an extreme liability.

The left apparently has no shame about allowing its differing factions to duke it out in public. It seems like the left would rather sink like an anvil with a "clear conscience," instead of competitively repositioning itself with a compromise or two.

The left would do well to tear the discipline-page out of the right-wing playbook.
