    The fact that both of those bumper stickers are on that car shows how much the Democratic Party has failed the working class

      Assumes facts without evidence.

      The influence of toxic social media funded by sources determined to be other governments suggested that even a candidate running on a humane law-and-order mixed ticket with a history in helping others and fostering opportunity and a proven track record in the field still wouldn’t have had a chance. Because that was the ticket.

        If this person felt loyalty to Democrats for helping them materially then they wouldn’t listen to people calling Democrats communist perverts.

        No, failed the working class. Since the eighties the Democratic party has been on a heavy neoliberal kick. One which result resulted in massive damage to unions Nationwide. Don’t forget that it was Bill Clinton who signed an HW Bush initiative in NAFTA. Don’t forget the Barack Obama allied with Republicans to push free trade agreements. Don’t forget that Kamala Harris walked back a lot of the pro Union rhetoric that Joe Biden campaigned on.

        Sometime in the '70s Democrats started losing control of the working class and the unions. Richard Nixon spearheaded that movement and was successful in it. Much like we’re seeing today he couched it in counterculture. It’s a part of our history that we don’t talk about enough. Nor do Democrats pay enough attention to class in general.

        LOL

        The minimum wage has been $7.25 for almost 20 years now.

        But sure, they didn’t fail the working class.

      Would you mind explaining the how the presence of the Gadsden flag on its own shows that “the Democratic Party has failed the working class”? I just don’t exactly understand your comparison.
