    what the hell are they focusing on exactly?

    Inclusivity and LGBQ+ issues (absence of the T is intentional). This is because those are issues that’ll get them some popular support while in no way offending the capitalist class

      I wish that were true, but capitalists are increasingly aligned with radical religious sects intent on homogeneity enforced at the barrel of a gun.

        You’re not wrong, but from my limited perspective it doesn’t look like the capitalists are united on this.

        There’s the “old money” types (think banks, long term investment, industry) who support the Democrats today because they want nothing to fundamentally change.

        Then there’s the “new money” types (think crypto bros, short term hair traders, software companies) that support the Republicans for the crashing and burning of the economy in order to buy up what’s left at bargain bin prices.
