> Could you share how the left wing politicians fighting for a higher minimum wage, medicare for all, CHIP / WIC, capping prices on insulin, and executing actual programs that create local jobs vis-a-vis the Infrastructure Investment Act is indicative of "not caring about people and telling them they should just learn to code"?
It's pretty simple: collectively, they didn't care enough. Not enough to counter 30 years of neoliberalism, and stuff like "just learn to code" are convenient fantasies to avoid dealing with the problems they were too timid to address.
IMHO, we have Trump because the Democrats are terrible. They had eight f*cking years to change to actually defeat him, once the problem became evident, but they decided to sit on their hands except to fearmonger.
