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?
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.
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.
