    Leftists really suck at marketing. Between that, antifa, and defunding the police, they really don’t seem to know how to put a name to an idea that can’t be misconstrued by an opponent with the maturity of a 5 year old (which, as luck would have it, is most opposition). I’d even argue BLM should be on that list.

    Edit to add: global warming.

      Black lives matter is the least hyperbolic statement of that movement imaginable. That there was pushback even on that framing speaks more to the vile ess of its opponents than to a failure of marketing.

      You might want to put it on your list but it’s the opposite problem to your other examples if anything.

        Yes, the problem is you create a bubble and look stupid when you talk about anything outside of your bubble.
