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.
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.
sometimes they do, and do nothing substantial with it.
With every mistake, we must surely be learning
Right, because lowering taxes for the rich is attacking the elite while raising em is not. What fucking twilight world do I live in??? I almost feel like learning some weird esoteric language, just to get away from this American brain rot.
People are going to be processing and justifying this any way they can. Everyone is going to be an idiot for awhile.
But Trump with billionaire support is attacking economic elites… One should never underestimate how dumb the general person is.
We tried running a man whose sole position was attacking elites. Bernie tanked.
Correction: the DNC fucked Bernie over.
yup. not a democracy.
