What you should do well to understand is that leftist policies are good for a governing body maintaining control over a populace. The Democrats don't give a shit about the working class, they want a system of dependency to maintain their power. To that end, they target "oppressed" groups to leverage social outrage.
It creates a rat race of an "oppression olympics," though, and the party is splintered as different sects are trying to maintain control over their golems while simultaneously radicalizing them (serious, the party of "superdelegates" should have realized screaming "Neo Nazis are rising!" was going to fluster their voters out of control).
Now, they don't know what to do, because they've convinced their voters to be mad at the Trump administration and blame them for the perceived woes against minorities, instead of offering a real solution (no, "throw money at programs" doesn't count), and they're not willing to admit the real reasons behind racial divides in this country.
