That is what I am insinuating. But last time I promoted those, there have been pushback from neoliberals and trolls in the midst. Thought I was pushing an “agenda”.
Raising the minimum wage has been talked about for decades now? And yet the Democrats never really seriously wanted to implement it? The talk on economic progressivism is all performative; considering that time when Bernie Sanders criticised Trump at a Democratic convention, he was cheered on, but when he started talking about minimum wage and Medicare for all, he was booed. A staffer of Kamala cautioned then presidential candidate not to openly criticise the oligarchs and wealth inequality before going on stage (before the debate with Trump?), but stating in hindsight she probably should have done so. All of these really points to the Democratic Party not serious enough to dealing with more pertinent issues that affect ordinary people of all background.
What is meant by identity politics here? I feel like this term is so nebulous as to be almost meaningless.
Running on socially progressive platform alone is not enough to win an election…
That’s not the platform they ran on. I don’t know what campaign you were watching.
Like say, minimum wage increases, healthcare Improvement?
I’m not from the US, but the minimum wage thing was pretty prominent.
