Everyone knows the only path to Democratic electoral success is triangulating in a neverending search to entice the Independent White Voter™ to join our ranks.
Nowhere in this article does it mention how anyone is defining "working class". In my experience that term means whatever anyone wants it to mean, and it's never defined by people in the "working class".
Samantha Bee had a political commentary show, and she went looking for the all-important working class voter. She walked into a bar full of white working class men, and every one of them was tied up with a media outlet interviewing them.
She finally found a group of working class not being monopolized by the MSM. Women and POC.
They're #1 concern was healthcare costs, and they were all without exception voting for Hillary.
The problem is, these policy ideas never cut through the bullshit about how democrats are going to eat your dog and turn your son trans. Or maybe it’s eat your kid and turn your dog trans. Republicans will scream anything except for what they really plan on doing once in office.
Only very slightly related, but not entirely off-topic:
The self-proclaimed fascist from the Jubilee with Mehdi Hasan, the one who seeks to establish autocracy in America, met with a little autocracy himself. He has lost his job.
Three guesses what he did next.
He set up a GoFundMe, which if the comments are to be believed, is more than fully funded.
Our problem isn't that working-class voters don't like programs promoted by Democrats, it's that they rarely vote. They're busy working. They don't have time to read up on policy positions so only the most base messages get through. Like look at this freakshow of a trans person. RUN AWAY! Democrats shouldn't mess around. Run commercials of seniors living in the street. Dying in unstaffed senior homes. Children playing in the street while others attend private school. Show them life without these programs in a way that is visceral. Make it scarier than a trans person. Also, too, keep fighting to make it easy to vote. Republicans know their policies suck which is why they're trying to prevent everybody from voting. If everybody voted they would cease to exist as a party.
I have always said that my favorite use of taxpayer dollars is feeding children. If I was rich I would love to personally bankroll the $750K annually it costs to subsidize my county's free school lunch program. Alas, I am not. All I can do is champion it at town halls.
Yep. Why Bernie is popular in red states. His economic policies benefit everyone and cross party lines
Affordable health care, living wages, affordable housing and educations, taxing the wealthy protecting the safety nets, social security Medicare These are not “radical leftist” ideas. They used to be mainstream democratic policy
"This is fabulous news for Democrats, who now will not have to pay what I have to imagine are some very expensive consultants to tell them that being a man (a macho, macho man), holding largely centrist economic and social policies, performatively rolling over on trans people in interviews with right-wing ideologues, finding a liberal Joe Rogan, and doing more swearing are the only available keys to the White House.”
Well, we could use more swearing FFS. Everything else—good riddance.
EVERYONE WHO KNEW A ***BLIND*** POLL WAS TAKEN ON MVP HARRIS' ECONOMIC POLICIES AND MORE WHITE REPUBLICANS POLLED POSITIVE FOR SAID POLICIES THAN ANYONE ELSE
They sure were fast to start screaming IRS shit when black churches bused congregations to the Board of Elections after Sunday services for early voting.
Fortunately, they didn't have to go that route. No voting on Sundays.
They're winnable if they can stop voting for anyone with an R after their name because they've been brainwashed to view Democrats as baby-eating demons
If the Dem leaders are so out of touch with us voters, why can't they be replaced by those who do know what voters need to hear?
Unfortunately that is what they did and no one listened.
Silly wabbit!

Ta, Robyn.
What was it the Founding Dads thought of political parties?
Taco Trump @realDonaldTrump is a “pedophile” of underage girls. Release the EPSTEIN files.

"Who woulda thought?" Anyone who did outreach in working class and/ or RED areas for Bernie's 2016 primary run.

Time for the wealth tax.
And Tax the Churches...
Any that want to be involved in Politics absolutely

It is the Lord's Day, after all.

Is it so wrong if a few modest Dems find the occasional taste of a fresh grilled babby on a toasted Kaiser roll nigh on irresistible?
The Kaiser roll does get to them. They're still pissed about WW1.
Way better than that elitist avocado toast, I tell you what.
Say it again until they hear you
