Jagmeet Singh’s largest failure is how he, in the middle of the worst income inequality in decades, with price gouging front-and-centre, and with support for capitalism at it’s lowest, is somehow polling behind the the fucking Conservative party among blue collar voters.
It speaks to a complete inability of the political left to talk about working-class concerns. Sure, a lot of it is that the media and the establishment will ratfuck anyone that rejects the neoliberal consensus, but it’s not like it isn’t possible to get traction and change the discussion. Bernie Sanders has been quite successful; Singh barely tries.
Trades guys are your standard peaked in high school jock types for the most part. They get very angry when they can’t call people fags or have to acknowledge transgender folks etc. At least that’s been my experience. This is changing and the new guys coming up have a different mentality but the old school ways are alive and well on the jobsite for anyone Gen x or older. The younger guys get radicalized by toxic manosphere types cause they struggle to get laid and shit like Rogan podcasts.
Meanwhile the membership especially in construction will continue to vote blue

gotta love that redneck koolaid. Amazing how they managed to convince the people most in need of socialism that it’s somehow evil?
