uniting an organized, multiracial, working class under the Democratic banner

Is something that is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER going to happen so long as they continue to use Kill Whitey as their rallying cry to motivate minority voters.

Eventually even their Black and Hispanic supporters will be at each others throats.

It is absolutely true that a liberal software developer in Williamsburg and the delivery person who brings her Seamless have different class interests.

The problem is NOT that there are classes. They have always existed and always will.

What is unique and important is the ability move from class to class. Both up and down. This used to be the USA!

The class struggle as a political struggle might have made sense in Europe in 1848.

In America? In the 21st century? They want to promote class struggle? What a joke.

here’s the Edsall piece — the author could serve as exhibit A for why the NY Slimes is in such a downward spiral, typical ignorant bigot of the left:

[All of which is to say: Progressives should be concerned by the fact that working-class Americans are voting less than they used to — and that those who are still casting ballots are voting for Republicans more than they once did.]

Exactly what Trump tapped into and what the Establishment GOP needs to get with him on.

Instead they will keep their heads firmly up the a** of corporate lobbyists and globalists.

Democrats have become the party of silly white ‘elites’, blacks, illegals, Stormy type sluts, and other assorted losers.

They are NOT the party of ‘working people’ at ANY economic level.

Period.

Democrats and their ‘servants’...

Michael Lind, a professor of public policy at the University of Texas in Austin, wrote in a prescient 2014 essay, “The Coming Realignment: Cities, Class, and Ideology After Social Conservatism,” that “high-density downtowns and suburban villages are coming to have an hourglass-shaped social structure.”

“Wealthy individuals” are at the top, according to Lind, with a “large luxury-service proletariat at the bottom.” Democrats, in this scheme, have become the party of

the downtown and edge city elites and their supporting staff of disproportionately foreign-born, low-wage service workers.
