Problem is the working class in this country is largely made up of folks who do not identify with "liberal" causes, much less any association with the left, most especially with any policy that might be viewed as "sympathetic" to the plight of "communists in Ukraine . The message of the Cold War propaganda runs mighty deep in this country.

The effort and strategy to deprogram the American Working Class has been challenging to say the least. And that's putting a positive spin on it, unfortunately.
