Sure, you don’t have to tell me about the right wing media machine. Most people I knew growing up got sucked into it and are beyond any rational thought now.
For the difference between Dems and the GOP on economic policy, I won’t argue that the leadership and majority of the Democratic party are neoconservative “”“centrists”“” - in other words, they’re conservative Democrats. There is a minority segment of the party that is progressive however, and once in a while they do something that is truly beneficial for everyone. The same can never be said about the GOP.
Sure, any progressive people end up in the dem party, but the amount of influence they have appears to be minimal. End result is that we see a ratcheting effect where the repubs ram through really unpopular policies, while dems prevent any progress to the left. The system overall continues to shift into neofeudal fascism. The only way out of this is to build worker power through on the ground organization, unionization, and then political participation in form of strikes and protests. That’s how workers won their rights in the 1930s where mass worker unrest forced the government to pass the New Deal.
