    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the Democratic Party abandoned working-class Americans in favor of the elites.…


    ,..Today, you go out on the street, that is not the sentiment. In fact, the Republican Party probably has more adherents than the Democrats," he said.

    The shift happened after Democrats decided to go after corporate money and "forget about the people who are working 50 or 60 hours a week,"…

    The transition of the GOP to the multiracial theistic tolerant small business, middle and working class coalition is on going. Bernie is right. Democrats threw away the working class in favor of attracting big corporate and elitist support .

    I’m glad that Trump recognized this and positioned the GOP with its America first populist message to bring the multiracial working class to attract them.

    He's right.

    Working class people have become more concerned about drag queens and CRT than the quality of their lives.

    it's a failure of the democratic party to message correctly.

    Ur still missing it. Working class people just want the govt out of the way so they can concern themselves with the quality of their own lives. Big money doesnt gaf about anything but itself. And while rightist politicians arent any more likely to improve our lives in its name than leftist politicians, one side is clearly more interested in just leaving folks alone to do it themselves. Thats becoming popular again (I hope!)

    I'm not missing it.

    Working class people have fallen victim to the culture war.

    They want to lower taxes on their owners, so that they will protect them from the gays.

    Thats ridiculous. Raising or lowering taxes has no effect on the wealth of the 'owners'. They wrote (lobbied) the tax code long ago to exempt themselves through loopholes that only they can afford to hire big law firms to navigate the thousands of pages of opaquely worded exemptions for them. Any percentage of ZERO is still nothing, and thats what the richest all pay. Taxes are one way they retain their ownership by placing higher and higher burden on their competition (that would be us, the working class). Raising taxes will just make the problem worse until the tax code is simplified enough that everyone can understand how to use it properly and equitably, and there is currently no political movement to do so on any side of the aisle.

    As for 'the gays'... no one cares so long as it remains within the realm of consenting adults.

    Why did you leave off the rest when the answer was right there? Multiracial theistic tolerant small business, working and middle class coalition. The new base of the Trump led GOP.

    Not an ally. He’s simply stating the obvious.

    The Aardvark will never be anything more than he is right now - a guy who will poke your eye out if you're standing too close to him when he talks.

    They'll never learn. Btw, working class people are MORE concerned about stretching a dollar and feeding their families. The message they are hearing from the Biden WH is that everything is fine. Having a little empathy would go a long way, but it doesn't seem to be part of Biden's vocabulary.

    Well , Bernie is right. Trump captured the “blue-collar working class” of America. I often see on TV how some Democratic strategist reminisce how Democratic party once had “blue-collar working class” coalition , but today they all moved toward GOP.

    I say that’s fine. To get back one “blue-collar working class” American in Green Bay, Wisconsin , Democrat has to change/ compromise policy which will turn 10 liberals in Madison, Wi away from Democrats. The choice is no brainer. Does Democrat wants shrinking White “blue-collar working class” or growing progressive voter as their future?

    Here is a status of America.

    They want government out of the way unless there is a train derailment, or if a book with non-sexual gay characters exists, or if parents take their children to a library while an overdressed man reads to them, or if a doctor and medical association comes to a decision with their patient, or if a child wants to abort her rapists baby, or if a private business speaks out against government policy, or…

    I am starting to think they are liars.

    They want government, they just want it to benefit themselves and hurt people they don’t like.

    How about more concerned with the inflation eating away at their paychecks, crime rampant because of leftist policies, an energy policy built on fantasy and costing them dearly, a China running circles around the current administration, the federal government on steriods to interfere in their lives and an opposition party that's more concerned with shoving drag queens and CRT down ours and our children's throats?

    If those are their concerns, then they don't understand much about anything that is going on.

    The populist message that those lower on the societal totem pole are responsible for one's troubles in life is an age-old, tried and true method to make people vote against their own best interest. Demagogues like Trump and DeSantis are very good at using and exploiting this message.

    Far better than you and leftist politicians who are more concerned with drag shows in schools.
