That there is no left wing/liberal counterpart to CPAC is damned significant
they have clout in their party. they have lots of it. the left has little clout in the democratic party. Of course, the wingnuts are well funded and have a lot of astroturf beneath their feet.
And most on the left aren't batshit crazy.
And yet, we're not the ones making cinder block and wire representations of the twin towers, smudging our houses with kitchen herbs to make evil spirits go away, predicting the future by looking at clouds, thinking chem trails are a conspiracy, taking as many prescriptions as we can, deliberately and constantly looking for ways to be victims, buying every single lie about global warming, even when all the predictions made so far haven't come true, bitching about a cruel, evil world because we stubbed our toe, wondering why we can't get a job while having a negative, petty, entitled attitude, using a very public internet to post ways we've sabotaged the business we work for (or even consider sabotaging it), bitching because we're smarter than our boss, despite the fact that we haven't been promoted over him or even considered as someone who could do his job better, etc., etc. The list could literally go on for days.
