The working class?

Why did the Democratic party lose the working class voters, and how to win next time ... by having Democrats become Republicans in all but name? Ugh.

I'd rahter ask why the Democratic party gave up on the voters who yearn to be working class ... those who fell through the cracks in the system, those who met with some life-changing disaster, those who were doomed from circumstances of their birth ... the least among us.

Democratic politicians don't talk to poor people, to disabled people, to old people, the drug addicted, the homeless. Sometimes a few of them talk about those people, but the people Democratic politicians actually see are really people like themselves ... the sucessful.

Oh, they do mention the "working middle class" of course, but even then they have to put in the word "working" in case their more sucessful voters think they mean to give money and benefits to freeloaders.

At the end of the day, most Democratic politicians don't think these is a significant number of these prople, and anyway they don't vote, right? The arrogance of Democratic politicians is crushing to those who are struggling, and so they have looked elsewhere or just given up on voting.
