8. Exactly.

Capitalism has an uncanny capacity to create ideologies that preserve it and support its evolution while seeming to be about something else. Another example: the medicalization of the suffering created by capitalism (through inequality, exploitation, the impoverishment of the commons) construed as mental illness or individual mental malfunctioning.

3. It has always been easier to attack already marginalized people...

It seems to me to be logical, when there are problems in society, to look at the people who can actually make a major difference in the laws and practices. The people with the power and the money to actually do something that has an effect. However, people, throughout our history, have been more apt to look at groups or relatively powerless people and blame them for any problems we have/had.

6. Why can't Dems make the case for public financing of elections?

As it stands the obscene wealth at the top is used to negate most helpful legislation which was relied on in the past. Eliminate the opportunity to bribe.

Given our economic disparity, it's only fair that red states pay their fair share rather than relying on the wealth of blue states. As it is now blue states are vilified using false narratives to the brainwashed masses who get their info from highly paid hate voices. There is way too much money to be made by lying. And their lies are destroying us.
