If you watched it (2:32-3:32), you'd see that's the same retarded claim the establishment is making. You'll see Ro Khanna's response to that in that portion.

Honestly don’t get why you refuse to entertain these questions. The decline we see in America (wages, social programs, tax base, union representation, etc) is a direct result of the neoliberal turn, with Democrats moving from the New Deal towards the “third way” compromise. Simply put, the powerful’s obsession with appeasing “market forces” has brought about a state of dissatisfaction with the way things are being run in this country. Folks don’t always correctly label the problem, but the sentiment is there nonetheless.

People turned towards trump in desperation.
People shouted MAGA because they sense the decline, it’s clear as day. They don’t know exactly what is keeping America from being great, they just know that it isn’t. And the Democrats, in typical form, responded that “America is already great,” then they were promptly swept out of power.

As someone whose job revolves around using certain tactics to change people’s minds around specific people and events, I’d like to think you can see how politics is so much more than punching ballots. Indeed, some of the biggest changes happened because of events outside of electoral politics.

Many Americans are still in denial about the decline. They've convinced themselves that if only we did X, it would all turn around. The reality is that there is no X to turn it around. Decline is inevitable, and we should be retooling for the new reality. That's hard to do when so many people haven't yet accepted that reality.

The Nordic countries did a halfway decent job negotiating the end of their colonial power. They downsized their armies, raised taxes, and enacted programs to take care of their people.
What Sanders was offering was just that.
But yeah, we don’t have a national conversation concerning this topic, because the media doesn’t want people considering the idea we can’t go back to global domination. They want us all believing we can just tinker around the edges, cut taxes and services until the invisible hand lifts us back up among the stars.

Voting leads to political change. That's always going to lag behind cultural change, though. We need American culture to be one that embraces a role as part of a global economy instead of trying to dominate it. That's going to take time and death to make happen.

I think we’re locked in at this point. Names floated by the Biden transition team suggest we’re going back to the Obama playbook of putting a little lipstick on the pig. The folks in charge would rather we enter a winner take all war with China than cede power.
Not to mention we have like a decade to curb carbon emissions, and if 2020 proved anything it’s that the governments of the world are in no way prepared to handle huge crises.

This is where we disagree.
Culture is downstream from politics, not vice versa. But politics is also bigger than just elections.
Cops killing black folks was a political issue. BLM was a political response. And now the culture has changed to reflect that response.
I dunno maybe we just disagree on what constitutes politics.
