I don't want to keep this going forever, so this will probably be my last response.
I understand why the CPUSA does not run a candidate for president, since they have no mass base, and since doing so is symbolic and pointless, but their position that the Democratic Party is the party of the working class is just wrong. The gains made by workers were made by workers themselves, in opposition to the Democratic Party (though not always in opposition to specific Democrats). The Democrats knew how to win elections then. They knew how to attract voters away from the SP and CP. Today, they try to attract voters away from Republicans. If the Democrats ran a candidate today that workers could support, they would win handily, but there are too many Democrats that don't want that. Look at the response to Joe Rogan endorsing Bernie Sanders during the primaries. Look at how Biden has distanced himself, politically, from anyone associated with Sanders. Far from being the party of the working class, the Democrats are a (bourgeois, capitalist) party of elite purists. Whatever they were 60–90 years ago, they're not that today.
