There’s an old Arabic expression that translates roughly into “people prefer a strong horse to a weak one”. It means that when making practical decisions, there is no room for pity. The left today with all their grievance politics is one weak horse. Sure, everyone wants to right injustice. But who we choose to lead us there and how they seek to resolve it matter. The left want to point to things like identity, cry grievance, and demand justice by some form of reparation or another. That just creates more injustice. And it’s a tough coalition to hold together because when you boil it all away it comes down to pity and who wants the pitiable as a leader? Maybe everyone has a grievance they can point to - but each is different and not relatable. A black man’s grievance doesn’t relate to a woman’s grievance doesn’t relate to a gay grievance doesn’t relate to an immigrant’s grievance. One man without a grudge can resolve them by making a level field where all can succeed.
