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.

    It’d only the status quo if the democrats couldn’t wrestle away more control. If you got the house and senate, and presidency, you could see massive improvements in social medicine, bodily autonomy rights for all groups, a much stronger and better economy (as is historical under democratic presidencies), better protections against corporate elite for workers and the environment. The ‘status quo’ is a hamstrung government because of neither party would work together (one party is working for the people while the other is stripping away their power and rights) and no party had full control.

    You’ll see change now, they have the control to enforce Project 2025, now.
