"左翼似乎除了重复那些未能说服人的论点之外,别无他法,他们认为由于人们没有被他们的论点说服,所以必须以更大的声音重复这些论点,这表明了一种违背逻辑的认知失调。"

Simplified Meaning:

When people hold on to ideas that don’t work but fail to offer anything new, it’s like trying to yell louder instead of finding a better way to solve the problem. For example, imagine a teacher who uses the same method to explain math, but students keep failing the test. Instead of changing the teaching method, the teacher just explains the same way, but louder. This approach doesn’t help the students understand any better. Similarly, when politicians or leaders keep pushing the same unsuccessful policies without new solutions, it shows they are stuck in their thinking. They are ignoring the need to change or improve their approach, even though it’s clear the old one isn’t working. People should recognize when something isn’t effective and be open to finding better ways to achieve their goals.
