"The American left has its own millet system, consisting of ethnic (and other) groups defined in large part by their grievances as victims of America. The left provides these groups with attention, representation, and handouts, in exchange for their votes. This system has been in place for generations, and has become the driving wheel of Democratic politics. It has worked nearly as well for them as it did for the Ottoman overlords.
The history of the left in this country is a history of division. Whatever conflict was current -- labor vs. management, class vs. class, race vs. race -- there you'd find the left, stirring things up in order to derive as much political benefit as possible. A workable democratic system demands a willingness to seek consensus and engage in compromise. The left prefers Balkanization and permanent conflict."
