9. You are talking on the lofty "macro" level

But the average person is not tuned into the evils and vagaries of U.S. capitalism.

And as a note, other than an option of maybe going to library to get on the internet, you are "above" quite a few who have no internet access nor home (or living with many others or living out of a car or on the streets trying to do "side-hustles" ).

They see a different side of "capitalism" but are far from any levers of power to do anything about it. Their lack of residence alone precludes any voting.

IOW, the people who the "Working Families Party" are tapping into that we haven't reached or even reached out to (other than a few charlatans like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West).
