This week in Trumponomics: Maybe the Biden economy wasn't so bad after all?

3. Actually we didn't split the working class vote with the Republicans, and we haven't for the last 3 elections

Biden lost the working class by 4, Clinton by 3, but Obama won us by 4 in 12. Obama was our last candidate with a claim to majority support from the working class. When the high quality analysis comes out in the spring we should have a better idea of how much we lost various demographic groups by. I don't think it will be pretty. Some Asian and some Hispanic sections of the Bronx and Queens we just out and out lost.

On the flip side we have gained ground with the white, the wealthy, and the college educated. In other words the Brahmins.

All of our great social programs were a long time ago by a different Democratic Party. We could hide behind them in the 80s but those days are long gone.

Instead of rejoicing over any bad things that happen to the working class under Trump maybe we could offer an alternative.

Screwing over the working class leads to things like Musk and Ukraine. There are only two choices when people enter the voting booth, we should offer one.
