    It’s funny how after a dem bloodbath - libs suddenly rediscover the term working class. I bet they use it for ~4 more months and then they’ll drop it again because being middle class is a feeling.

    The Democrats didn’t ignore the working class. Not even the white working class. Not even the white male straight cisgender working class. There were actual policies, unlike Trump, that would have benefited them significantly.

    The media ecosystem made sure that they didn’t hear about them.

      So Kamala could have prepped a list of these policies, eli5 taking points and she should have went to Rogan show and talked about them.

        Your comment made me realize that Bluesky is going to be far worse than Reddit for the foreseeable future. At least at Reddit - you can have actual conversations. People might lecture you but you can make your point anyway and who knows who’s reading along.

        But Bluesky is in kneejerk liberalism mode. If you mentioned Rogan - chances are they going to respond without thinking but respond with sarcasm which gets them likes too. Post-election - many Bluesky libs are convinced Americans are unreachable. The vast voting horde is hopelessly stupid, hopelessly racist, hopelessly misogynistic, and unwilling or unable to think. And as a bonus - libs will block or mute you which limits your ability to have conversations.

        I made a comment based on what you said.

        I expect blocks, mutes, and ridicule but we’ll see.

        He had already muted me - haha! But as I understand it - my comment is still visible to others.

      Didn’t Biden litterally say, while President, that being Middle Class was more about a set of values than income-threshhold?
