A traitor can only be a worker who betrays his or her class interest.
A misleader is someone outside the Working class who betrays the class's self interests.
What is true for both categories with respect to the Working class, is true of other classes within their respective classes.
Calling a worker a misleader is simply a confusing term. For the non working class misleader cannot be said to betray the working class since their only legitimate loyalty is to the non working class that they belong. If the misleader was a worker he would have to be called a traitor.
In any case, Workers would be fools to accept non working class individuals as their leaders.
As the old same saying goes, "fooling me once shame on you, fooling twice shame on me".
"Demoralised", "cowardly" and "feckless" are attributes that could only pertain to individuals of a specific class within the party created specifically for that class.
These vices are vices only for those in the class and virtues for those who are their class enemy.
If the Democratic party were truly "Demoralised", "cowardly" and "feckless", as reformers often say, the party would not be worth writing or talking about. Indeed we should be encouraging these virtues. It would make it easier for Marxists to organize the working class.
The Democratic party's core is misleading the Working class is their core value.
Criticizing the impossible to have virtues of the Democrats by definition implies that they could behave is a more progressive manner. This leaves open the door to reforms i.e. the Bernie Sanders of the World.
