It goes against their interests to promote class consciousness, same applies to any electoral party (even those considering themselves on the left), not just the dems or liberal parties of Europe. Class consciousness develops outside the electoral system.

Yup, rich exist in both sides of the political spectrum. The war between the right and the left is there to distract from the more important class war.

The existence of class war is a Leftist stance, are you referring to Democrats as the "left" or Leftists as the left? I agree that political theater is a distraction, but this wording is confusing.

It's a big club, and we're not in it.
