    You’re all working class!!! If you rely on your work for your living, you’re working class. I get what they mean, but don’t forget that.

    …and until it’s bad enough for massive strikes, it will continue.

    The left’s job is to make this feeling into “working class men are not okay but now have a functional protest movement seeking to end the wealth gap permanently”.

    The problem is Trump is funneling this issue/disenfranchisement towards the aims of the wealthy and those who want to increase the wealth gap permanently.

      “Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump has sufficient policy plans to address the interlocking crises of working-class men. On the one hand, you have Trump, who likes to pander to working men but whose policies disproportionately benefit the rich. Then there’s Harris, who appears to have backed away from the ambitious programs of Bidenomics in favor of nibbling at the edges, touting instead a slew of tax credits for “entrepreneurs.””

      per the article, it’s not just Trump.

        Yeah, but I don’t feel like Kamala is funneling off working class disenfranchisement to other places.
