I didn't even watch the video, but there's a lot of pure ideology going on in this thread. Too many fart huffing liberals for me to dunk on myself.

We've got a better message in saying everything is fucked than trying to do the "omg america so good, but why can't we be a little less racist".
If a socialist is to succeed electorally, they either have to run as a Republican and convince them they're fighting for conservatism/"the working class" or go entirely scorched earth on people's perception of contemporary and past America.
I'm convinced that all you need to do to win over enough republicans to win in the general is to torch all of their other systemic bogeymen. Google IS trying to control your thoughts. The media IS liberal, i.e. protecting viewership by not being overtly racist, but also not supporting anything that benefits people over corporations. Sympathize with the anti-vax dipshits by saying they're right to mistrust big pharma. Place all of the problems with homelessness, inner city education, housing & tuition costs, and crime squarely on the liberals.
Take whatever it is the right-wing media machine is getting people pissed about, agree, get pissed about it too, then direct blame from marginalized people to liberals and wealthy capitalists.
Do socialism, be mad, blame libs.
Is there any way this works, or turns out well?
Look at how much shit Bernie caught for comments as mundane as "Cuba has good healthcare and education." Is tripling down on that approach going to work?
