There is no voice with any real institutional power in American politics that is seriously opposed to corporate hegemony. There’s no labor party.
That fact is unusual and anomalous in modern political systems and is causing massive instability and unpredictability of outcomes.
- narag 8y agoThat fact is unusual... Not at all. European socialist parties have been migrating to a, as a previous commenter put it, "cultural" agenda: feminism, LGTB, eco... some of the issues are favorable or neutral to workers, but some others, like inmigration policies are actually harming, or at least perceived as such. The result is that these parties are sinking and their votes going to both extremes of the political spectrum.
