Everything you claim should be done is what Bernie Sanders supported and that got us nowhere.
It’s really easy to get up on your high horse and claim that leftist identity politics is the problem instead of looking at the systemic failures of American democracy. Lobbying, Gerrymandering, media outlet control, anti-intellectual propaganda, voter disenfranchisement, an underfunded education system, the electoral college, a packed supreme court, etc.
This isn’t a case of ‘if you can stop being righteous and just hate gay people for a moment we could have had universal health care.’ This is a case of the democratic process unravelling in its end stages as the popular candidate lost the vote four times in the seven presidential elections.

Imagine if Bernie just gave up the first time he lost an election, he would have bowed out in 1972 when he only got 2.1% of the vote in a Vermont Senate special election.
Instead he’s been bang on consistent with his views for going on 60 goddamn years now. The rest of the left could learn a lot from that.
That’s a little hypocritical of you to call this “widespread, infectious binary thinking” when I was pointing this out in your comment, not advocating for it.
You’re faulting liberals for stifling class warfare through engaging in identity politics, when you said so yourself that it doesn’t have to be either or.
Identity politics isn’t the enemy of class warfare, it’s corporate interests, lobbying, and billionaires, and they want you to do exactly what you are doing now, which is to get liberals to gatekeep each other while they laugh at low tax rates.
Uh… Just force 99% to work like slaves, pretend there’s scarcity by not allowing health or food to some humans to spur the shit out of the parents, while they are looking away, teach them and their kids and their kids continually that there’s scarcity and we have to work insanely much to survive. Then be offended when equality, the literal core issue, that you are all treated like trash by a higher hierarchy and for no reason… there are maybe 40 people you need to conquer but nah, focus on your fucking status game, focus on fucking if a guy wants cock??? Then say wow, so you care so much about blah blah? Literally the objective of equality is no it is cool that you hyper focus but also oops solve problems solve health solve happiness solve productivity solve fucking not burning the boreal and slaying the entire human race… Equality isn’t a secondary issue… its a root issue.

Never forget that thousands lined up to vote for Bernie during covid, putting their health at risk and he ultimately… dropped out.
Real leadership quality there. I’m sure his candidacy would have been enough to stop the fascists.
Joe Biden.
