And why not?  Almost all labor unions, 90% of African-Americans, and large
chunks of other working class groups support the Democrats.  Since the US
does not have a proportional vote system similar to Weimar, it is hard to
exactly compare relationships, but why is a comparison between a party (the
SDP) which made coalition with bourgois forces in governing coalitions any
different from working class forces in the US making coalition with bourgois
forces through the Democratic Party?

Frankly, if you compare the actual governing policies of the Democrats
compared to those enacted by Weimar SDP when in power, the Dems today
promote more radical policies.
