What exactly is the American working class?

12. Your edit statement is true

When the politicians speak of the working class, they are generally talking about the white working class Republican. There is not one message that Democrats can get across to people that listen to a man that during a debate screamed out their eating the dogs, their eating the cats.

Please stop trying to sugarcoat the problem and issue, you know it and everyone on this blog knows it. Everyone that is working and not among those making more than $500k a year and I am being generous are considered the working class.

The working class complains about eggs and gas, but buys gas gussling vehicles that eat up all their money, or pay enormous amounts of money for sporting events, plays, guns etc. But they are complaining about an economy that is the envy of the world at this present time.

Please spare me with the idea of Democrats lack of messaging. Let me leave this with you from Lyndon B. Johnson, “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

― Lyndon B. Johnson

That is the problem in this country!!!!!!!!! And until this is addressed nothing a Democrat can say to some people. The rich white man has convinced the working class white man that everyone is trying to take something from him.

When Democrats elected Obama, the Republican Party felt that the White House and Presidency had been tainted and lost its value, there was nothing more dignified about it because a Black Man has entered that sacred position. Therefore, the end result is a convicted lying, racist whoremonger, proven racist is better than having another black person in that position. Many here on DU might not have a problem with that, but those on the Republican side do.
