He's right. In a declining capitalist state like the current US, workers want change. In the absence of a genuine working class party that correctly blames capitalism and the capitalist class for a revolution, you get a "radical" capitalist-funded party that at least points the blame at someone — marginalized people.
The dems only offer to preserve the status quo, and no one fucking wants the status quo.
Get organized. Liberal democracies in the imperial core historically always slide to fascism.
Reread your post and then really consider if that rhetoric would get >50% of the vote. It’s just more academic jibberish that falls flat outside coastal cities.
That's not the message to voters, that's the message to thinking people who are evaluating the problem. The message to voters is much more simple. Point the finger where the blame lies, and tell the people what you'll do for them. Of course no serious funding will come your way if you try that though, since the corpos running the country aren't going to donate to a candidate who seeks to unseat them. There you see is the root of the problem. It's not a government of the people, by the people, unless you believe that silly lie that corporations are people.
