[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I could have written what you said except I mostly support the "woke stuff". I was not as upset after Harris lost compared with 2016, and hoped it would be sprt of like Trump's first term. But in the back of my mind I knew the risk of a second Trump term was high.

I think the GOP has been capturing the working class for decades. They do it by catering to people's worst instincts - fear and animosity towards people who are different from them.

[b]Instead of fighting for the working class the Democrats have focused on catering to a broad fractured coalition that is impossible to maintain.[/b] So even though, consistently, Republicans break the economy and Democrats fix it, Democrats too often lose to terrible GOP candidates. I think this will.continue to be an issue as long as Democrats pretend to cater to the working class but rely mostly on UMC voters while the GOP succeeds in winning the working class via racism and xenophobia.

BS...the democrats HAVE been focused on the middle class -raising minimum wages, safety in the workplace rules, collective bargaining and unions, healthcare, education- all bread and butter items. The GOP has been masterful at spinning the idea that the democrats are nothing but coastal elites focused on fringe issues, and clearly by your post, they have succeeded. Reality is, TRUMP is a coastal elite, Bannon is a coast elite, Musk is a coastal elite, Ivanka is a coastal elite, as well as all of the other billionaire financiers and tech bros who have gaslighted and used their media platforms to lie to the actual working class and as others have noted, preyed upon the worst instincts of "the other" taking something from the average white middle class worker.

Harris and Clintons platforms featured all of the things people complain about making better, and instead, voters opted for the carnival barker con man and his merry band of billionaires who are now setting out to make Hollywood's worst dystopian visions come to reality.[/quote]
