General Discussion

The Democratic party represents all Working Class issues except one - the maintenance of traditional privilege.
The Working Class some Democrats would like us to focus on is the traditional post WWII working class that used the Democrat's brand spanking new GI Bill to go to College or Trade School, start small businesses, and buy cute houses in the Suburbs. This traditional Working Class also tended to get first dibs on job openings and promotions, while the women and minorities who often had to work those jobs were laid off due to the post war drawdown, and then ignored when both the Space Race and the tech boom took off.
That's often the Working Class types Republicans and some Democrats talk about reaching out to.
The huge problem is - that working class segment is finding it harder to live like their parents did because they have to compete with the other working class segments for fewer jobs. And they're panicking because they have to work harder like everyone else does.

Look, I understand that it sounds like I'm picking on white guys. But it's really the employers, using programs that Democrats tried to bring on to level the field and then turning around and talking about quotas when they don't want to hire the proper amount of people for the job; they just want people they know who will work twice as hard for the same pay as what would be expected from a single worker.
Because "Competition" makes workers desperate and willing to put up with substandard working conditions to keep their jobs instead of telling the boss to take that job and shove it. And almost all of the working class that aren't from the traditional sector understand working twice as hard in shitty conditions than the traditional worker.
