What I'm beginning to see as a problem is not just left infighting, but also, here in the UK, in the USA, and in other countries incl what little I know of France, the left (Verts, etc) are not out in les bandelieues, not in the care homes, not out feeding les sans abrí, etc.
The global far right are scum, but seem to know how to address the personal issues of people (economically struggling family farmers, the unemployed, the sick, the seniors, alienated working class, etc).
People being heard, people working together with members of Insourmise, les Verts, etc, working directly with farmers (to figure out how to get out of debt, to help families and friends who have lost farmers to suicide, work with farmers to help the enviroment AND do it without it being a bureaucratic and financial burden, etc), doing ACAB work with POC activists against racist pigs, etc. will get people to want to vote for the left
In a word, actually showing up for communities.
Then so-called 'white' people'll stop blaming migrants for everything & stop obsessing about racist crap like 'replacement' theory etc
People in the bandlieues will be familiar with the left and not think of the left as an elite talking shop.
The left has to engage with people.
