Mass politics would be an understanding by the working masses that politics is about power and affects their material conditions and believing they can change things, resulting in grassroots political movements. Not necessarily class conscious, but class informed at least. Matt argues that the republican/democrat divide is mostly cultural at this point, and people are checked out of believing in politics, so therefore, no mass politics.
