    None of the working class has representation in government. Our government represents capital, bankers, and corporations. All of which have convinced voters there are only 2 options for which right wing corporate owned party they want to select.

      Possibly the difference being which set of “traditional values” are being upheld. Still, this take ignores a lot of details, chiefly that the two are nowhere close to being equally so.

      e.g. right now would it be fair to say that black people are roughly considered to be ~4/5ths of a person?

      If so, conservatives want to return that to being perhaps 3/5ths, while liberals want that to remain 4/5ths, and leftists want that to be expanded to 5/5ths. Both only look right-wing with respect to the POV of being at the left, which we are currently not, since mainstream America is shifted so extremely right-wards.
