Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class?

Have I been out of the loop on politics?
Wasn’t it the Dems who voted to protect Union Pensions? Republicans voted against it.
Dems voted to extend the child tax credit this year. EVERY Republican voted against it.
And didn’t Kamala Harris run on helping with funding for first time home buyers?
When did the narrative of Dems being against the working class start? Was it just because Bernie said it recently?
You're viewing a single thread.
NAFTA and Wall Street bailouts come to mind.
In regards to Bernie, his premise is that wealth inequality is the core problem, which means tax the rich until they can't have an outsized influence on our politics.
Taxing the upper class was part of their platform though.....so....still unsure as to where there against the "working class".
Their platform aint worth shit since they never actually deliver anything.
Its like my Christmas wish list when I was a poor child... Mostly just a cope
Trump’s tax plan was in effect until the end of 2024. Biden’s plan wasn’t able to go into effect until next year.
Biden tax plan?
When did congress vote on that?
Tax and spend is job of the congress... not the president. So unless congress did a thing, then this is a nothing burger.
This is constitution 101 btw
We can keep telling ourselves Mark Cuban's "opportunity economy" was good enough but objectively it was a flop with working class voters. Either it was a messaging failure or it wasn't populist enough, Bernie is saying it is the latter. If it was a messaging failure, then we're likely to conclude it is because our media landscape is toxic. Bernie would agree and say that is why we need a populist message to cut through.
I thank we can develop state that our media landscape is beyond toxic. It's apparent that much of our population is getting fed information through tik Tok, Facebook, and YouTube. Learning how to game the system like the alt-right does would be incredibly worthwhile.
