Hilarious to me that people who think Democrats moving left would have won this election when the root issue of voter ignorance reigns supreme and Republicans and extremely wealthy control the narrative via the news media still continues. And don't get me wrong, I want Free Healthcare, Universe Basic Income, and even a Wage Cap, but I am still unconvinced these things would have been viewed positively enough to sway voters with the 2 afformentioned issues still persisting.

He's cultivating working class solidarity in a really powerful way, and it's starting to appeal more and more to folks who've watched the Democrats pay only lip service to racial grievances, and then proceed to never make meaningful sacrifices to ameliorate the underlying problems of economic inequality and then work constructively to promote financial security.

By doing what exactly? I've seen plenty of arguments like this about Dems not doing enough to seperate themselves from the status quo, and thus are losing ground to Republicans on things like the economy and fighting for the working class. I don't disagree with that, but what arguments like that fail to convince me of is what exactly is Trump offering these Latino and Black voters that's better?

Right, economy. Both candidates ran on fixing it. But one wasn't a black woman.....

I caught your reference OP.

And neither party currently supports doing this.

That's simply not true. While it didn't exactly pass, Biden did try to enshrine it into law in 2021.

I know politics sucks but try not to get so jaded you make shit up please? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_Act_(United_States)#:~:text=Purpose%20and%20content,-See%20also%3A%20LGBT&text=The%20Equality%20Act%20seeks%20to,Civil%20Rights%20Act%20of%201964.

The "Guillotine the rich" crowd sure loves saying they wanna do it but they never have the balls. You talk of politician "ought to's" yet here you and many others are not executing billionaires. Put up or shut up.
