people keep elevating “working class” like its some universal good. Sometimes you gotta let the elites run it
A Discussion on The Left & The Working Class
I'm personally in favor of letting them have their brexit moment.
haven’t I been calling this out for years?some of you guys are really hung up on trying to appeal to people who spit on our ancestors
that's crazy
calling Latinos racist, wannabe cacs is not the winning strategy that you think it is
i'd suggest changing it

Since when am I a Democratic strategist?
If this is the world white and Latino people want nothing I can do
my people survived slavery and Jim Crow so we can survive MAGANot the direction I wanted the country or world to go in but if yall want the US to turn into Florida so be it, I'll still be good. We're used to being hated.
Wrong.Stfu. No one is talking about that.
Working class issues you fukking idiot.
Dems are now calling out how trans issues are affecting the environment of political discourse. It’s over for the weird shyt. People dont talk about other issues when they think you’re defending goofy shyt.
Pull Up the Roots
I have a good time when I go out of my mind..
Yep, this is spot on, especially when you look at our political reality. The idea that Democrats are losing because they're not offering anything to the working class misses a deeper issue: deep-rooted racial and cultural resentment. The hope that economic populism could bring working-class voters together across racial lines sounds great in theory, but it hits a wall in practice.
We've seen that for a lot of white voters, if a policy helps Black people too, they're less likely to support it, no matter how much it might help them personally. You only have to look at the ACA, for example. It wasn't disliked because it wasn't as broad-reaching and effective as medicare-for-all, it was disliked just because it was tied to a Black president (Obamacare). It shows that this isn't just about policy; it's about identity and perception. So, when Democrats try to pitch ideas for economic fairness, they're often undermined by these cultural divisions. This makes it feel like a dead-end. No matter how good the policy is, the fear that it might benefit Black people just ends up blocking progress.
This working class nonsense has been a fukking canard since 2016 and I’m not buying it. Social media is driving people insane, not their economic conditions.
I find it funny socialists wanna talk about economics all of a sudden as if that wouldn’t demand they drop the marxist socialist shyt and actually react to market conditions and points where pressure can be applied. i.e. CAPITALISM.

Sounds like by "working class" you mean white men. Maybe we need to start by saying what we mean and stop pretending the millions of black people that vote are somehow not working class. As long as we use their language they will control the conversation.
