I very much disagree with his argument that the Democrats have abandoned the middle class. Like I honestly can't fathom that statement.

Literally all of Biden's biggest initiatives have helped them. He stood the picket lines with them. I do think they have a real problem communicating what they're doing, but I don't get the "abandoning" argument.

He said working class, not middle, and those are different things. -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 07:28 2
- Especially because the middle class has continued to hollow out as our income equality rises and rises. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:32 1
  - Yes, one group is largely benefiting while the other is not. But I'd also say that the two groups have different values and different communities. -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 07:44
To me it's more that no matter what Democrats do to help middle class people the middle class ends up ultimately rejecting them. -- nm* - Inigo Nov 7, 07:13 3

  - Misplaced blame and anger is indeed a lot of it. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 7, 07:22

Dems since Obama haven't been able to raise the minimum wage. They can't get enough low to mid-income housing built. They haven't done much to make - mara Nov 7, 07:05 3
- I mean, they do talk and it gets us nowhere. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:12 2
  - Then the message needs some adjustment -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:13 1
    - They do not not want to hear it from Dems. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:18
He might do well within the Senate - but Bernie does nothing, IMO, to help Dems come election time. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 7, 06:55
