@notwhatwethink another fine piece of journalism trying to explain why the "working class" now votes for billionaires, criminals, and misogynists... You guessed it: It's all the Democrats' fault.
Dems are not left enough and have abandoned the "working class". That's why the poor now vote for the same people that have lied to them for decades about trickle down economics, moved trillions of dollars from the bottom of the economy to the top.
Trading freedom, affordable care, unions, and justice for climate breakdown, hatred, and feeling superior simply because they are white Americans by birth...
It doesn't matter that Biden openly supporting unions, the military, democracy or that his policies have set up the US with an economy that's the envy of all other nations and actually creating millions of jobs... At least the "working class" showed it to the liberal elite regardless of the consequences regardless of the root of their misery ...

@RulesBuster @notwhatwethink I'd be cautious about the idea that 'all other nations' are envious of the US. Other nations have free healthcare (not 'affordable'), don't treat the justice system as a way to create free labour and have meaningful targets for addressing climate change.
Neither Dems nor Reps have fixed anything for the working classes in the last 40 years, because they're two sides of the same neoliberal coin. Trump is not, and people have responded to that. Terrifying as that is.

@toychicken @notwhatwethink you are right that not all nations envy the US, however, the strong economy and record low unemployment top all G20 nations... Even considering the fight against the looming , under Biden the US has passed unmatched initiatives investing heavily into infrastructure and energy transition... While, again you are right that more has been done in the last 50 years for billionaires than for the Working Class, equating a Democratic Congress and Presidency with a Democratic one is clearly untrue. From the Affordable Care Act, to raising the federal minimum wage (on federal contracts via Executive Order) to openly supporting Unions and creating millions of jobs, Democratic administrations have done more for American workers the last 16 years than any Republican President over the last 60 years.
Republicans are clearly not going to help the Working Class, which they apparently do very much want to believe.
