Dems’ Neglect of the Working Class Comes at a Price

The Democratic National Convention showed that the Democratic party is focussed on various social justice policies, gun control, defunding police etc., but has little interest in the working class. Now, blue collar voters are increasingly turning their back on the Democratic party. Many of them voted for Obama twice and then voted for Trump in 2016. As it looks right now, even more of them might vote for a second Trump-term, which would actually be in their self-interest, given that Trump brought back hundreds of thousands of jobs, which were outsourced to China and other countries under Obama and Biden.

This is encouraging as it shows that many working class Americans, regardless of skin color, are seeing through the distraction game of identity politics.
