politics

In an election season where the democrats attempted to pass super cruel border policies, courted dick and Liz Cheney endorsements, told their Muslim demographic to fuck off, and tried their hardest to shy away from identity politics, it blows my mind people are blaming the democrats for being "too far left wing."

I think both parties played identity politics this campaign season.

The way I see it is this. Bernie tried in 2016 and 2020 to bring the party back to its place as the party of the working class. The establishment wing of the party didn't like his insurgent candidacy and colluded together both times to sweep him under the rug and install their chosen veteran party hack. Biden was the last gasp of showing love for the working class with his pro union efforts.

With Trump's win the Republicans are now sorta the party that gives more attention to working class demands, whether this is just lip service or maybe somehow it actually results in some upward mobility is yet to be determined.

Democrats are still the party that prioritizes social policy, but they have ceded economic policy to the GOP.
