After the pathetic move by the Democrats just days after an incredibly positive election for them, I am wondering what people think about the next shift in consciousness among the working class in the US.
Just anecdotally, I have found that most people are not afraid to talk about politics in places where its usually prohibited (mostly work, school, etc). The anger among the more liberal people I've seen is palpable.
As the American economy is showing trends of generational decay, the US government is also taking actions that will immediately impact tens of millions of people. The economy is in turmoil while ICE kidnaps people off the streets. Universal healthcare, food assistance, etc, seem like sound policies to many people simply because it would stabilize the economy more at this point.
The Dems are still the vehicle through which the majority of people think that the "resistance" will come from, but after this latest government reopening vote I'm seeing some very existential reactions.
I'm curious what people think will happen next in terms of the consciousness of the masses. I dont think the masses are anywhere close to accepting a vanguard party, but I do think that a massive shift away from the two current parties in power is possible within the next few years. I could see a shift toward democratic socialism as a party emerges with all the new contradictions that will arise with that.
What do y'all think?
