General Discussion

in favor of Wall Street, corporations, wealthy donors (hanging out in swanky wine caves nibbling canapés while coming up with new ways to ignore the working class). Over and over and over and over we hear: out-of-touch Democrats ignore the working class, have shifted to the Right for the last 30 years, same economic policies (neoliberal) as Republicans..This is why for believers of the ideology it's inconceivable that Democrats would ever have progressive polices, has to be because they were pulled/pushed to the Left by others who then take credit. Trump voters aren't racist, just suffering from the economic anxiety the mean old status quo establishment elite Democrats caused, what with all the ignoring.

"I think the more accurate answer as to why Trump has won working-class support [than that Trump made the election about anti-immigration, white identity, white grievances and victimhood] lies in the pain, desperation, and political alienation that millions of working-class Americans now experience and the degree to which the Democratic Party has abandoned them for wealthy campaign contributors and the 'beautiful people.'"
