    If you are USAmerican, didn’t your govt actively kill/silence/sabotage the leftists?

    You have no successful left because it gets actively killed by your govt. Your govt is even planning to send its military/national guard into the cities in your country where “liberals” are in power, right?

    And regarding doubts on the claim on Xinjiang pushed by your govt, it looks like them manufacturing consent against their enemies rather than caring about the issue, because they are actively supporting genocide in Gaza.
    With the history on the invasion of Iraq, why wouldn’t people doubt it?

      There are plenty of mainstream, public leftists. Some of them run for official positions. Many of them express their opinions online with full name and credentials.

      You’re trying to give the leftists an excuse for not succeeding, but it’s their fault, not their government’s.

        Liberals are not leftists, the US government has a long and extremely well documented history of sabotaging and directly attacking actual leftists domestically and internationally, every idea you have is verifiably wrong
