The "radical" "Left" sold them out in favor of #woke #intersectionality.
As for the liberal left, Chris Hedges lays it all out:

"...and we have to recover that we have to remember that it is not our job to take power that's not our job our job is to remain fast around moral imperatives that we do not compromise on it is our job to defend a dispossessed working class it is our job to defend sick children it is our job to defend those uh who are being uh tortured abused and killed in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan because of our rapacious and out of control War economy and we have to beginning be willing to get up and make personal sacrifices on behalf of these moral imperatives even if at first we become parias that is the only hope left anybody who's foolish enough to think that going to a ballot box at this point and voting for a Democratic candidate is going to change anything um I think is as is is living in a universe that is as non-reality based as the Christian right and if we can recover that ethic if we can understand that Rebellion or resistance is a way to safeguard our own Integrity our own individuality if we can look down the long term and say maybe not in our lifetime but we will carry this for the generations that come after then I think we can speak about Hope but if we refuse to do this if we remain passive and complacent then I think both our nation and finally the ecosystem that sustains human life is doomed" (17 October 2010).

Supplementary "An essential feature of the rise of Trumpism has been the brazen inversion, that trusty maneuver in which you wield your critics' own values against them -- say, borrowing the language of social justice to argue that the "oppressor" is actually oppressed or suddenly embracing progressive social causes in the service of criticizing Islam. It's a blunt but effective rhetorical confiscation, in which a battle-ready right relishes its ability to seize, inhabit and neutralize the arguments and vocabularies of its opponents, reveling in their continued inability to formulate any sort of answer to the trusty old 'I know you are, but what am I?' There's something similar in the right's gradual appropriation of the word 'alternative' -- an appropriation that, for lack of a stronger claim by disappearing alt-weeklies or leftist publishers, seems to be working. 'They just want me to be the devil because I'm the alternative media,' said the Trump-approved conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, after his recent interview with NBC News's Megyn Kelly. That description might seem incongruous, but it's increasingly standard on the right to characterize sites like Jones's Infowars, The Gateway Pundit and even Breitbart as 'alternative.' Plenty of others have followed suit: Media Matters for America, the left-leaning watchdog group, uses 'alternative' to describe the same constellation of right-wing publishers and pundits that has been referred to as the 'pro-Trump media,' or in the formulation of the BuzzFeed News reporter Charlie Warzel, the 'upside down' -- a reference to the nightmarish parallel dimension of Netflix's camp horror series 'Stranger Things.'" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/magazine/why-the-far-right-wants-to-be-the-new-alternative-culture.html And #IRLPhilosopherSlavojZizek #OrgUKTheOxfordUnionSociety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=545x4EldHlg&t=1830s (1 January 2019) #IRLAuthorAngelaNagle #2017_KillAllNormies #CatchcryAltRightCounterCulture #IRLScholarErvingGoffman's #TheorySociologyDramaturgyBehaviourBackStage #TheoryMaterialismChristian i.e. "Christians have affirmed the existence of the soul, its survival of death and its re-embodiment at the final resurrection. In recent decades, however, there has been a growth in the number of Christian scholars who deny the existence of the soul and affirm some form of materialism." https://christianscholars.com/the-prospect-of-christian-materialism/
