To win working-class voters — and possibly today’s election — Democrats need to attack economic elites. But the Kamala Harris campaign hasn’t consistently offered an anti-elite counter to Donald Trump’s right-wing populism.
because the fascists are offering real change even if their electorate doesnt understand completely what it is.
the democrats and their worldwide equivalents are offering the shitty status quo we already have.
This is why.
Hundreds of millions of people working paycheck to paycheck wanted change and she spent two months of her campaign repeating memes.
How does that make any sense? Conservatives everywhere always just want things to go back to the good old days, eliminates earned freedoms, and kick people out of the country that don’t look like them.
It doesn’t, but it doesn’t have to. It’s like if you give a sack of rotten fruit to a starving man, he’ll eat it gladly, even if it kills him.

There is that, but there is also the fact that the Democratic party and especially affiliated media has been systematically moving to the right and suppressing the left as much as they can. The Dems being hamstrung is most likely a feature, not a bug.
And even if it isn’t, does it matter? They courted the Cheney people, and had one of their greatest losses against a guy with the IQ of a toaster. It’s not like they have anything to lose by giving progressives a chance at this point.
sometimes they do, and do nothing substantial with it.
