    You can laugh at these people but they would also have been the ones to carry Bernie to victory if he hadn’t been screwed by the DNC (and the electoral system at large).

    These people are infinitely more likely to open up to a leftist candidate than your affluent lib who call themselves progressives and shit on the left for not toeing the Democratic party line.

      Exactly. These peoples’ opinions are incoherent because they’re the product of a system designed to pump out incoherent, idealist workers. Do something to improve these peoples’ material conditions, show them there’s an alternative to what they’ve been stewing in for their entire lives, and a not-insignificant chunk of them will be in your Das Kapital reading group by the end of the year.
