How does this get accomplished? Bernie tried to promote a bunch of pro-worker/pro-labor policies, but clearly that didn't work. I also think all of the "Right Wing populist" stuff is phony and not actually true.
So what is the actual answer?

By engaging in non-electoral political action. Democrats (and US parties in general) refuse to take political action outside of the prescribed lines. Imagine if we had a labor party that was encouraging wildcat and sympathetic strikes, using resources to push unionization, or any other form of direct action. Americans will reject anything they don't trust and a left party needs to build trust by performing direct action. Then people will go to the polls for you.
