Alright then, a new thing to discuss: What do you guys think about "class dealignment" (https://jacobin.com/2024/04/class-dealignment-democrats-trump-biden) on the left? Is the fact that western leftists are losing support among the traditional white proletariat, and instead turning towards a more bourgeois support base, a major, existential threat that must be remedied by de-emphasising culture wars and identity politics, in favour of a focus on old left-style economics and labour advocacy? Or is a majority of the white working class inherently right-wing, counter-revolutionary, and racist/sexist/homophobic/other sort of undesirable attitude, meaning the left should reject them entirely and focus on identity politics stuff that's more appealing to the educated, mostly non-white middle (or even upper) classes?

If 'leftists' are able to have a bourgeois support base then you've already answered your own question :P its why I don't really care for the term leftist anyhow. Socialist or bust
