Democrats need to address the "Working Class" problem and get over the "Isms"

126. Not hardly. Take credit where credit is due. There's a hell of a lot of credit we're due in that regard.

Tell them, in no uncertain terms, who their friends actually are and who they aren't. Back it up with facts. Be bold. Be aggressive. Be inflammatory. We use to do that...a lot. I'm old enough to remember. It was still working in the 90's, 2 decades after Repukes went all "Southern Strategy." For some strange reason, we lost our roots and went "cerebral". I don't mind it but most common folks don't get it and are thus easily lead away by shiny, culture war bullshit.

Other than Bernie Sanders, who among those leading the Dem caucus is pounding away on the fact that, for all practical purposes, working class wages have been stagnant since Ford? Top earners have seen significant income growth, and in a capitalistic society, that's fine, as long as that growth applies to everyone. It's not and we don't talk about that nearly enough. Maybe Dems are afraid to piss off some of their high income donors? Who knows. Fact is, we're pathetic in that regard compared to our political ancestors. Hell, we're pathetic compared to Repukes and for them it's a complete lie.
