Economic issues, of course. Yes, politicians eventually follow any social issue that becomes popular enough. Democrats ran away from any real support of labor decades ago
Democrats ran away from any real support of labor decades ago
Can you explain what you mean by real support? State level on the west coast where Democrats have the majority, they have been voting to increase minimum wage, make school lunch free for ALL students, increase social safety net programs, and run experiments with UBI. At a federal level, they’ve been supportive of unions and investing in massive infrastructure jobs to put more working class people back to work, including investments in green energy and most recently to fix/replace aging water systems, and tried to relieve student loan debt that is currently crippling two generations.
I want them to ban corporations and international buyers from buying up single- family homes, rezone commercial areas for housing, and set limits on price gouging and corporate profits, but that needs to be done through Congress because the current Supreme Court will just say it’s unconstitutional and government overreach.
I’m not at all happy with where we are, but I don’t see how this is the fault of Democrats.

44 Democrat senators, 36 Republican senators and Joe Biden signed a bill to block the rail strike. They’re all pro-corporate trash.
