Sadly, they did everything they could to kneecap his campaign and make sure he didn’t have a chance, even though he had huge crowds and so much support. I can tell you what they did in Brooklyn during the primary with him against Hillary Clinton. It was absolute voter fraud.
100% agreed. This proves that our democracy has failed, neither side serves operates with the interests of the proletariat at their cores, and these two political parties/conventions have monopolized our political system.
Actually, I think it proved that “our” democracy is doing what it was set up to do. The subtext that was widely understood by “all men” was all white men, right up until the Warren Court. We took this for granted that all the entitled Americans would accept this.
In regard to the homeless population, there are more white men than any other sex/race combination. The idea that the system serves white men and leaves everyone else in the dust in 2024 is incredibly naive. A homeless white man is served far less by the US government than a black trans woman billionaire. The rich don’t care about trivialities such as race or sex. They only care about whether or not they can use these traits to divide the proletariat.
So no, not in 2024. In 2024, we have squandered the equal rights found in the constitution and extended by the Supreme Court starting with the Warren Ct. because they were not reserved for the ruling class but extended to all and the least. In 2024, the haves are strongly asserting themselves over the have nots. Yet American labor, at its weakest point in a century, is learning to walk again.
Race very much mattered to how “our democracy” was set up. It was written into the constitution.
The fact that it and other identities can be used to weaken the unity of the proletariat makes it continually important up to this minute. The black trans woman billionaire will be insulated so long as she continues to align with the interests of owners. The ability to become a billionaire in any country is in fact only available to those who exploit labor in some fashion. So she is safe. The minute she aligns herself with the proletariat she is a target. The aim will be her race, her gender.
