The left has become so focused on illegal immigrants and identity politics that they have abandoned working class economic issues and rural white voters and it has cost them elections.
They go hand-in-hand, though, and moreover “true economic equality” isn’t possible when humans vary wildly in needs and abilities, hence Marx’s whole attack on the so-called “equalitarians.”
This country would need another 250 years of progressive policies to undo the social and economic damage it has done through racist policy. 20 years of progressive politics can’t undo 2.5 centuries of racial exploitation and division.
Let’s not forget additionally that the USs elected “progressive” politicians for the last two decades fall right of center by world standards as well. If the US would like to actually make progress (hint: it doesn’t, our geriopatrikyriarchy LOVES genocide and exploitation of smaller nations) they’d have to start by not calling the conservative party the left, and not calling the Nazi party the right.
This nation has its head in the political sand so deep it can’t even see its own nose anymore, it will be well collapsed and already rebuilt before it realizes it’s a different nation run by different people.
That progressive people should prioritize economic equality ahead of social issues.

Yup.

They do not, as evidence by the last two decades of “progressive” politics here in the US.

The US has not had either, truly.
Can’t care about your neigbors when you still have to worry about your own mouth to feed.
When you look at revolutions the tipping point was always the threat of going hungry and losing your home. That makes everyone desperate.
And you’re not going to miss a days pay to protest or vote when you know neither candidate gives a shit about your health and well-being.
