As to who’s fault it is… I don’t know, human nature probably, lack of education, lead paint, huge number of factors.

Do you want the Democratic party to take these factors into account and find a way to succeed despite them or do you want them to keep doing the same thing and failing?

Universal healthcare is popular. Raising the minimum wage is popular. Being openly hostile to the robber barrons of our age is incredibly popular.

It is possible to run a left populist campaign and win on these things but that's not something the dems are comfortable with
