How can ultra-Rich Dem candidates represent workingclass people?
Advertisements [?]
I'm just wondering how these incredibly wealthy democratic candidates and other represenatives, can even remotely have a handle on what the lives of everyday American working class people are like. I mean, is it polling?..I understand that they get emails and letters etc but really, how can we have people who are clearly not in our socioeconomic sphere, effectivly fighting to make the average person's lives better when many have NEVER been a working class person? Sometimes I think, by and large, It's all the same...Both Dem's and Repubs worshiping the big corporate interest...I have MANY disenfranchised friends who just think it doesn't matter who is in power because none of them represent the majority of us out here...I don't know, I just fail to see how we can be truely represented within the system that is currently in place...
