In more ways than one.

Yes they lose consistently in the elections but that is not the full extent of their betrayal of the voter….once elected they fall into the same cycle of corruption and deceit.

Dems play to the working class at every election they get equally corrupt labor unions to sponsor them and they go around feeling faux sympathy for the working population….and it is a fake concern.

Working-class voters have been telling pollsters for 60 years that the political system doesn’t hear them. Democrats, over the same period, have grown more comfortable with the institutions working-class voters have increasingly less faith in.

This distrust stems from specific experiences: deindustrialization that happened on government’s watch, trade deals that economists endorsed and workers paid for, a 2008 financial crisis response that saved the banks and foreclosed on their homes, an opioid epidemic that regulators missed entirely.

To be fair, this is precisely what the new crop of reform candidates say they want to fix. The argument that the right candidate can move the needle is not crazy. Candidate quality matters. Personal trust can substitute for institutional trust, at least at the margins.

But economic-grievance politics is a very small slice of what working-class voters are telling us. The data documents a comprehensive, decades-long divergence in how working-class voters and mainstream Democrats understand fairness, government, personal responsibility and social change.

Reducing that to class war jams working-class voters into a prefabricated progressive agenda rather than taking seriously what they are actually saying.

Do you agree with the ‘findings’?

I kinda disagree with the conclusion….I believe it is a class war and the Robber Barons are winning.

That brings us to the real problem….Democratic candidates….are they truly representative of what the people want?  Not even close!

Just look at the most recent elections….the vote proved that few wanted Biden or Harris but yet they were part of the ‘good old boys’ club so the nod went to them….Biden won only because he was not Trump, that is not a resounding endorsement now is it?

Democratic voters want a fighter as a candidate yet they do not support a fighter instead the succumb to the blase mumbo-jumbo of centrist cowards.

These are what Dem voters say they want….

The three top attributes that Democrats want in a nominee are:

• A fighter for working people (88%).
• Who works across the aisle to get things done (76%)
• And is authentic in his/her beliefs (72%)

Let’s look closer….

• Fighter for working people, whatever the ideology: 88% of Democratic primary voters say they would “vote for someone I don’t agree with on every issue as long as they are strong and will fight for the working people of this country.” Likewise, the most appealing candidate profile was “fighter” (86% appealing):“This candidate has the guts to stand up to Trump and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party.”
• Authentic: 72% of Democratic primary voters would “vote for someone I don’t agree with on every issue as long as they are authentic and true to what they believe in.” And 59% prefer a candidate who is “authentic, relatable, and down-to-earth, even if they don’t line up with you ideologically on every issue,” over one who “stands with you on most of the major issues.” Moderates (63%) and somewhats (62%) chose authenticity; only socialists chose ideological alignment (57%).
• Bipartisan dealmaker: 76% of Democratic primary voters prefer a candidate “who works across the aisle to get things done, even if it means compromising sometimes,” over a candidate “who sticks to their progressive beliefs, even if it means getting less done.”

What crap!

That is what the voter wants if so then name one nominee that has done any of those three desires.

I will admit the centrist try to work across the aisle but that is only for show for they know they will not succeed….but it makes a good show….and authentic?  Name me one Dem that has been ‘authentic” once they are elected….I will wait.

Let’s be honest….things will not be different this time around….the nominee will be a centrists and the desires of the working class will be just a memory once they hit the high life.

The DNC makes me sick.

Let’s be honest….Dems are as useful as breasts on a flashlight.

Instead of snuggling up to big business they crap on the working people of this country.

And sadly it will happen again and continue happening until the voter wakes the fuck up.
