Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) urged her Democratic colleagues to stop attacking the "oligarchy," arguing that the word did not resonate with most Americans.
Maybe before you say that the issues that you care about are obviously the first priority you should be asking why minority voters would ever trust white liberals (or leftists) to get to the things that are critical issues for their communities once the stuff whites prioritize gets done.
Your argument of “give the racists more money so they won’t be as racist” isn’t going to inspire solidarity from the people you’re supposed to view as allies. Prove you’re there for them before you start worrying about how you can convert Republicans. It’s still a dumb fucking plan when it’s from the left rather than from the middle. The left is never going to win by figuring out which part of the coalition can be pushed to the back of the line to attract those sweet sweet Republican converts. The situation doesn’t change if you swap out neocons for anti-woke tradesmen.
This class-first argument is almost solely promoted by white male leftists and FFS you guys should wonder why.
