Oh man, nobody tell this guy that California was called for Joe Biden 30 seconds after their polls closed, and all branches of local government are occupied by Democrats.
Lol, he might decide to say something relevant.
And yet... The California electorate still overwhelmingly rejected any and all specifically Far Left policy proposals on the docket.
Interesting, no? Its almost like Democrat partisan affiliation doesn't necessarily directly correlate to support for extreme Left Wing ideological positions.
This is mostly B.S., particularly if you think the GOP's economics has helped the working class.
Trump's economic policies objectively
did help the working class, as well as the lower rungs of the middle class.
Real wages managed to exceed pre-2008 recession levels for the first time in ten years under Trump, unemployment hit record lows (especially for minorities), and basically every key indicator relating to prosperity in general went up, across the board.
Trump essentially did what he said he was going to do, as far as looking out for the interests of working class Americans are concerned. If Biden does even half of the things he claims to want to do, most of that will be undone.
The reality is both parties have done tremendous harm to blue collar workers. The DNC has in recent decades abandoned the workers in favor of the same corporate donors the GOP already courts. The GOP has excused the shipping out of jobs in the name of capitalism while Dems have been lukewarm, at best, on the issue.
The DNC is effectively just a slightly less ideologically extreme version of the UK's Labor Party.
Again, they're the party of urban, educated, elites, and the giant horde of minority "welfare proles" those elites lead around by the nose. They are the party of "globalism," both economically, and culturally; "Neo-Liberal" with regards trade, vaguely Socialist-leaning with regards to domestic policy, and staunchly "Neo-Marxist" with regards to Social issues.
Quite frankly, that "urban, educated, elite" feels little qualms with leaving the rest of the country to rot, because they identify less and less with the rest of the country with each passing year. The "deep blue cities" aren't really even "American" anymore at heart. They're basically hubs of the "post-national" economy, and the elite Left Wing mono-culture surrounding it.
The average "Culturally Left" upper middle class person living in NYC or LA has more in common with a similarly wealth person living in London, or Brussels, than they do anyone in the American heartland. They act accordingly.
With that said, there needs to be a transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner forms of energy, whether you like it or not. Climate change is a very real problem and we can't just ignore it. When we start making a more committed transition there needs to be 100% government funding to train those workers to work with solar, wind, hydro, etc.
Annnnndddd.... That's how you wind up with Yellow Vests.
Minimum/living wages are not welfare.
Minimum wages accomplish nothing other than increased unemployment and costs of living.
Quite frankly, if you're on minimum wage to begin with, and you're older than 18 or so, you're doing something very wrong.
