Summary
Following the Democrats’ recent election losses, some, including Senator Bernie Sanders, argue that the party failed by “abandoning” the working class.
However, critics counter that Democrats under Biden implemented one of the most pro-working class agendas in decades, passing union-supportive policies, job-creating infrastructure bills, and increasing wages.
Despite these efforts, Democrats saw little electoral benefit, especially among nonwhite working-class voters, as cultural grievances took precedence for many working-class voters.
Analysts suggest that the party’s best path forward may be to focus on college-educated suburban voters rather than attempting to win back working-class Republicans.
They had been telling us nonstop from day one that we are not struggling, that everything’s okay, that the economy is strong and And unemployment is low, which means nothing if people are not getting paid a livable wage. They Ignored our cries for help that we are struggling. We cannot afford food, we cannot afford rent, our wages are stagnant. Time and again they kept repeating the same lie, everything is okay, you are not struggling.
That is blatantly ignoring the working class.
I respectfully disagree. there was no real, tangible results for most working class adults. Inflation was still terrible and there seemed to be no relief from it. not many real progressive measures were enacted that people actually wanted or noticed. industries all around were still slowly shutting down and quite a few factory towns suffered badly during their term. they could have done something about it proactively, but chose to brush it under the rug. it’s awful, and I didn’t want this outcome but you gotta understand that most people want cheaper stuff and not be jobless.
it really goes to show how far people will go if they think their livelihood is at risk. they’d go as far as electing a Nazi. crazy isn’t it?
Democrats under Biden implemented one of the most pro-working class agendas in decades,
there was no real, tangible results for most working class adults.
Both things can be true.
When the bar is just that low literally anything can be the most in decades.
Progressives need to start their own party. This coalition with the DNC is ridiculous and just keeps getting worse all the time.

You can’t say she had no desire to court working class voters, and be upset that she was campaigning in Texas and with Liz Cheney.
