Subject: Re: Democrats Must declare Class Warfare
Good idea. But Corporate Democrats are taking the drug money, and bedding down with the GOP and the oligarchs. Who's going to wage the Class War?
Somebody smart enough to realize that “money” doesn’t win an election if you don’t have some sort of emotional or political tie to the majority. Kamala had more money than Trump, and spent it. How did that turn out?
The lower economic classes are being led (by the nose) on culture issues: trans rights, gay rights, no Bible in school, and other heartland nonsense. You are not going to win them by trying to buy them (school loan forgiveness) or appealing to logic (inflation has actually come down) or making them eat their vegetables (coal, steel, etc. offshoring your jobs but don’t worry, there will be other jobs, maybe).
I have long wondered, why don’t the Democrats have populists? Bernie Sanders is about the only one, and he’s too old, labeled himself with a toxic brand (socialist), and represents an outlier state with zero influence. Is he the only one who can “populist” from the other side?
