Right Diagnosis, Wrong Prescription

by Sheldon Richman

“The populist Sanders-left (which is actually broader because it includes Tucker Carlson and others called rightists) is partly correct and partly incorrect about what happened to the Democrats last Tuesday. They say correctly that the Democrats failed because they have taken non-elites for granted, patronizing and subsidizing some (minorities, for example) and disparaging and penalizing others (regular bourgeois working Americans of both sexes and all skin tones and ethnicities). This is usually stated as ‘The Democrats have betrayed the working class.’ This is good as far as it goes, but it goes not far enough.” (11/07/24)
