All the criticisms against the left often revolve around the same points: they’re divided, constantly fighting among themselves. But the real issue is that they lack authenticity; they don’t inspire the imagination. Look at the far right — what do they offer? They’ll stop immigration, build a wall, make guns freely available. These ideas, however extreme, capture the imagination, as if casting spells on the people.

And what about the Greens? Their only stance seems to be, “We won’t do that.” Well, boohoo. We need serious candidates. People are becoming almost religious in their search for a messiah — a leader to believe in. This messiah could come from a future of green hope or from one that leads to destruction. The plan for self-destruction is clear. But where is the plan for an inspiring future that believes in human potential? Where is the vision that moves us forward?
