The issue is most Americans are still not hurting. This is a huge impediment to any real change.
55% of the American populace live in the suburbs. These suburbs are overwhelmingly majority white. These people are still living a semblance of the so-called American dream. This results in two effects:
1) They do not support structural changes that would lead to a more just America because the current system still works for them.
2) They are not happy that the Democrats are focused on the needs of the black and brown urban poor which may be the right and humane thing to do but unpopular in suburbia because the vast majority of white suburbanites are racist small-minded, self-centered and greedy. Poor whites get riled up with culture wars like gun rights, immigration, CRT, BLM etc.
This is what
@Pressure always says. He speaks facts as he is a black man in the south. It’s easy for me a black man in NYC to think this Republic is more progressive. But that’s me in my tri-state area bubble. Once you leave the NYC metro area the country is red and racist as fukk. But white folks will be the downfall of this nation. What doesn’t help is that the GQP is getting closer and closer to their fascist dream. So America will continue decline. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, the Senate, Supreme Court is leading to their ultimate goal. And when America goes through a REAL crisis white folks will look to a fascist right wing authoritarian to take the reign. For example like climate change. People have no idea how close we are to the race to the bottom. Social misinformation doesn’t help. Like
