The biggest problem is that a majority of Americans aren’t broke enough. Broke, desperate people will do desperate things to survive or effect change. America is heading that direction, and the trend is accellerating, but we are still a ways from it. If you don’t believe me, go to Costco or Sam’s Club sometimes and see all the worthless shit that people are buying on the daily.

>Just like Democrats under Joe Biden, they’re lying to themselves and everyone else…
Always “both sides” with these hacks. For those who listened to Biden, Harris and the rest of the party leaders in 2024, they did NOT argue that people weren’t broke. They told us that much of the inflation was caused by supply issues (it was), that inflation was decreasing (it was) and that the US had lower inflation numbers than nearly every other wealthy nation (we did).
I’ve seen so many people claim that in 2024, people were complaining about high prices and Democratic leaders were saying, “Shut up! We’re doing fine!”. I don’t know who these people were listening to in 2024, but I didn’t see anything close to this kind of messaging.

The economy, measured by stock performance and powering the returns of the morbidly rich, is doing outstanding. (Just don’t look closely at how much of that is one time data center build-out.)
The economy, as measured by the ability of anyone other than the morbidly rich to own a house and raise a family, is a fucking nightmare.
And the state of the educated STEM students needed to operate our high-tech society is despair and wage slavery for the privilege of learning the most difficult subjects.

I think the critical lesson for Democrats to learn here is to acknowledge that people are hurting and present different solutions to help them through progressive strategy.
The reason we’re being “both side”-ed and “controlled opposition”-ed to death from one side and blasted with phony right wing populism from the other is that Democratic leadership at the time made the same mistakes – ignoring that there was a problem. That’s what guided people to fascism or at least apathy to fascism, people wanted water and when they didn’t have it they drank the sand.
The fix is easy now, because frankly, there is no real Democratic leadership, and there is plenty of opportunity for progressives to take the reins. There is no “appealing to the center” because Trump’s brand of Republican doesn’t acknowledge there is a center, there’s us over here and them over there. So you can win with ideas that are left of what you might be formerly accustomed to in the wake of such corrupt and incompetent leadership. But it starts with these primaries happening right now, we have to vote them in.

In the early phases of the civil rights era, many people came to realize that their problems were not unique to them but were part of a systemic failure. Consciousness-raising groups became a go-to community vehicle for people who were told their problems were their fault.
By owning media and their owners, Trump can control the official narrative and show us a reality where our problems are our own individual fault, that we are alone in our inability to make ends meet.
Mainstream media news is no longer worth watching because they now work for him and his friends. Talking to each other, organizing to leverage our sheer numbers, has to happen to beat back their omnipresent panopticon.
