Because it's become a cult. That's why.
WE WANT HAMAS.
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
NOW.
For anyone willing to peak under the rug, the problem is the lefts love of the idea of intersectionality.

A 20th-century leftist might have debated how much the state should intervene in citizens’ lives. A postmodern leftist only debates how far the transformation of society and the minds of each individual citizen should go. It’s as if they have gone from being bad economists to being bad psychoanalysts.
Gender politics, rewriting history, multiculturalism and open borders, or abolishing the police were issues that used to be addressed by a small group of leftists we called the “far left.” In both the United States and Europe, these issues are now the central agenda of left-wing parties, starting with the Democratic Party, perfectly caricatured today in what AOC represents.
The 20th-century left, the left of class politics, was profoundly wrong about everything, but the contemporary left, the left of identity politics, is simply insane. The revolution that socialists entrusted to the proletariat of the last century, they now intend to carry out with an army made up of trans people, immigrants, people of fluid and intermittent sexuality, and ordinary Americans who are suddenly fascinated with Islam. Sometimes, when I watch the woke army struggling to form a uniform line, I don’t know if I’m looking at real soldiers or just at a circus.
A curious observation: leftists never try to convince informed and free people; they always go after those they consider dependent and malleable. Just as yesterday they went after the workers, and especially the blue-collar workers and those who, a priori, are less intellectually qualified, now they’re going after the freaks, those who don’t know their own identity, and those who urgently need to see a psychologist.
In comparison, the blue-collar workers at least had the dignity of labor and an ethical foundation vastly superior to that of this brainwashed mass of followers of postmodern progressivism. Perhaps it’s time to pass a law (Good Lord! Am I asking the government to solve something? What have I become?) that prevents political parties from seducing those with obvious mental problems with Gnostic rhetoric. If you think about it, by gathering the mentally ill, the left has become one of those infamous cults from the 90s where one idiot managed to get a thousand fools to give him money, offer him sexual favors, and later commit suicide without killing him.
The left is now extreme because it refuses any dialogue. They brandish a Catechism, and anyone who doesn’t endorse it 100 percent is the enemy, a fascist, or simply has lost their humanity and can be cast into oblivion, ruin, or even prison. It’s true that it was easier to argue about John Maynard Keynes than about Judith Butler, because at least there were some intelligent arguments to confront, but it’s also true that, when there’s no intellectual foundation, political debate consists of nothing more than spitting at each other, which terrifies conservatives — and I don’t blame them.
