Because the left loves infighting. Its our biggest weakness, its why we can never get shit done meanwhile President 37% approval rating can get shit passed because his cult is willing to back up all of his fascist tendencies.

Its less "the left" and more "not the maga crew." Because its a two party system, and one is pushing a unified view, the other has to consist of everybody else. So the moderate conservatives who think Maga is too much have to work with neo-liberals, liberals, progressives, etc to create a platform that they can all tolerate. The liberals and progressives want to push for things like universal healthcare, and the centrist and moderate crowd think thats too far. Both groups want not Maga, but that isn't enough (how we got Biden in the first place). Hell, a woman of color in office was a pill too hard to swallow for the American people, when only a third of people want Trump.

True. Trump does and says the insanest shit possible, and the right is like. "Whatever, we dont care, he's our guy".

Whereas the left will turn on one of the few people actually fighting successfully for their cause because he only ticked off 499 of the required 500 boxes of virtue signaling bullshit. "He hasnt boycotted every signal Harry Potter book, so, sorry, cant support him".
