We should all have solidarity with ordinary working class people who can’t make ends meet. Lots of them voted for Trump not because they’re right wing racist/sexist lunatics, but because the Democrats are that bad.
I’m not saying that we should let fake leftists off the hook for refusing to vote against Republicans in swing states, but we need to acknowledge that people understand their material interests and vote accordingly.
They vote for their material interests in the same sense that a man walking at night with sunglasses picks the best path. He thinks it’s obvious but he really needs to take the sunglasses off and maybe get a flashlight. He’s walking a stupid path and will probably fall into a ditch.
Fox News is probably the sunglasses in this metaphor.
