Jagmeet Singh's largest failure is how he, in the middle of the worst income inequality in decades, with price gouging front-and-centre, and with support for capitalism at it's lowest, is somehow polling behind the the fucking Conservative party among blue collar voters.

It speaks to a complete inability of the political left to talk about working-class concerns. Sure, a lot of it is that the media and the establishment will ratfuck anyone that rejects the neoliberal consensus, but it's not like it isn't possible to get traction and change the discussion. Bernie Sanders has been quite successful; Singh barely tries.
