This is a legit demographic, where they dont really care about identifying as right or left (in burgerlander terms), but just want to see someone talk to their material conditions. Liberals will however get into tangle of overthinking how to appeal to the working class, and come up with the “left” needing to be more racist amd transphobic to appeal to the masses. Its the material conditions stupid
Pretty much. It’s why so many people who don’t seem like racist fuckwads voted for trump anyway - they heard what they wanted to hear about how his “policies” would directly improve their own lives. Excusing the nazi agenda because of hypothetical selfish gains is insane but that’s a whole other mess to untangle.
There’s a huge voting demographic who literally only cares about their own self-interest, and if a candidate speaks to that in words they understand, no matter what letter’s next to their name, they’ll go for it.

It’s not so much that they overlook it… It’s just incompatible with their own material interests (continue to receive large donations).

While at the same time castigating progressives for appealing to chuds, such as when Bernie went on Joe Rogan
