You still hear rat elites claiming they are for the working class. It's a lie of course. They look down on the working class with zero pity because they know most blue collar these days are voting Republican. It's the cruelty of socialists, you are either on the plantation or screw you. The other cruelty by rats is their bigotry and racism. I don't need to bring up campus liberals and their hatred of Jews, the elected rats who are clearly Jew haters, the support of hamas by the msm, etc.....
If you look at the historical stats, the field is no longer level. The money has firmly gone to the rats. Wallstreet, lawyers, hollywood, all gone socialist.
This article is written by a rat. He calls it as he see's it, which I give him credit for. That idiot biden keeps on touting his economy while the middle class suffers. Classic rat lack of concern for others, especially if those others don't agree with their socialistic bent politics.
The kicker is that rat money is voting for those that kill the middle class because it is financially beneficial to them. So when you hear a rat tell you that they are for the "little people", just know, they are a fucking liar.\

Two decades ago, sociologists Jeff Manza and Clem Brooks observed that “professionals have moved from being the most Republican class in the 1950s, to the second most Democratic class by the late 1980s and the most Democratic class in 1996.” This consolidation has only grown even more pronounced in the intervening years. As professionals have increasingly clustered in the Democratic Party, moreover, they’ve grown increasingly progressive, particularly on “cultural” issues surrounding sexuality, race, gender, environmentalism—and especially when compared with blue-collar workers.
Federal Election Commission campaign contribution data provides stark insights into just how strongly knowledge economy professionals have aligned themselves with the Democratic Party in recent cycles. In 2016, roughly nine out of ten political donations from those who work as activists or in the arts, academia, and journalism were given to Democrats. Similarly, Democrats received around 80 percent of donations from workers involved in research, entertainment, non-profits, and science. They also received more than two-thirds of donations from those in information technology, law, engineering, public relations, or civil service jobs. Among industries that skewed Democratic, the party’s highest total contributions came from lawyers and law firms, environmental political action committees, non-profits, the education sector, the entertainment sector, consulting, and publishing.
Similar patterns held in 2020: the occupations and employers with the largest number of workers who donated to the Biden-Harris campaign included teachers, educators and professors, lawyers, medical and psychiatric professionals, people who work in advertising, communications and entertainment, consultants, human resources professionals and administrators, architects and designers, IT specialists and engineers. Industries that provided the highest total contributions to the Democrats included securities and investment, education, lawyers and law firms, health professionals, non-profits, electronics companies, business services, entertainment, and civil service. Geographically speaking, Democratic votes in 2020 were tightly clustered in major cities and college towns where knowledge economy professionals live and work—and outside those zones, it was largely a sea of red.
For instance, professionals tend to be far more supportive of immigration, globalization, automation, and artificial intelligence than most Americans because they make professionals’ lives more convenient and significantly lower the costs of the premium goods and services they are inclined towards. Those in knowledge professions primarily see upsides with respect to these issues because their lifestyles and livelihoods are much less at risk—indeed, they instead capture a disproportionate share of any resultant GDP increases—and their culture and values are largely affirmed rather than threatened by these phenomena. Others may and often do experience these developments quite differently.

A knuckle dragging culture that should have evolved 500 years ago but got stuck. My view is that the left has turned its back on Jews and Israel and in particularly bad form.
By contrast, GOP wingnuts do run the asylum.
Are you capable of telling the truth? Ever? Or are you really this ignorant?
There has never been a less qualified group of far, far left administration members running any Western country. Biden is a puppet. 20 years ago there is no way biden leaves the borders open or appoints complete idiots to judgeships and cabinet posts. The powers that be selected administrators and cabinet members by the color of their skin, how they dressed and which sex they like to bone rather than by their qualifications. He can hardly speak and walk let alone run this country;
This move with the Palestinians is, to me, the most clear example. You have an issue where no free and clear thinking person could possibly take the position many on the left are taking with Israel vis a vis the fake "Palestinians" (who are merely Arabs w/o a country that no other Arab country wants). You have people taking nuclear shots at the only western democracy in the middle east - a place where Arabs live and prosper, even serve on the high court for fuck's sake - vs. almost every other place where you'll get skinned for homosexual activity. It's a complete no brainer, and here we are having an actual, controversial debate in this country about who's right over there. GMAFB. You have BLM Chicago actually doing this:
Can you even imagine the outrage of a right wing interest group posting a meme of a swastika the day after a bunch of Germans - or any white people really - committed a 10/7 on some shithole country? And not a single person is calling for their organization to at least go fuck themselves? What does "under fire" mean? Why am I not reading about somebody at BLM with their fucking head on a pike? And then you have actual Congress people doing more or less the same, absent the meme? Seriously, man, I'm not the chicken little culture warrior around these parts, but even @GrandpaSankey can see the writing on the wall. Where has the fucking center gone? If I have to pick a spot today, I have to go right. There is no room on the left because to be there you have to swallow these shit ball positions that I refuse to swallow. It's absolutely full on AIDS retardation to not support Israel right this fucking minute. Absolute full blown, oozing sore, AIDS and single digit IQ, cognitive and emotional, to do otherwise.
10 years ago there would not have been the wide-spread support for "Palestine", a place that doesn't really exist, in this context, and the accompanying lies about "occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza that purposefully avoids the basic context for Israel's role in regulating those borders (but hardly occupying anything).
The left in the US is simply getting out of control. We need competing schools of thought to keep things honest, but holy fuck all, it has become lunacy. Actual fucking lunacy.
That pro-birth character you play here isn't the center. Hell, not even in Oklahoma or Kansas.
Hope this helps
Didn't use to be but he's being run by leftist scum like we said
You keep wetting your pants over your daddy
We'll keep living in reality
Trump is center. On abortion and everything else
Borders matter. Cheap energy matters
Leftist scum are against both
That's what you're voting for
The abortion issue - I don't trade in euphemisms - is a personal view rooted in philosophical substance that is confoundingly above the heads of many, including some of our fellow Tugians. As for people who generally find abortion immoral, I would proffer that many people do but lack the courage to accept, or the intellect to understand, or both, the reasons why it should not be the law of the land or of any state. Some are weighted down with earthly concerns of pragmatism, a view for which I have some empathy. @pawz Alas, my days at UW philo, where I was taught to not surf the popular waves of opinion toward the empty goal of "fitting in", but rather to pursue reason for its own virtuous sake. You may do and think as you wish. We're not in Gaza after all.
Edit: as to pulling the lever, I became a one issue voter on October 7, 2023, in the same way my Cuban predecessors were one issue voters on communism and Cuba. For me, to be clear, it is where you stand with backing Israel and how much strategy, devotion and resources you are going to apply to fighting Islamic radicalism everywhere. I'm going full neo-con (thanks @YellowSnow ) on this. We have the money and resources to take the fight to their front door. Deal with Iran with an iron fist and don't give them any money. Starve them out any way possible. Tighten borders not to catch fruit pickers and house framers, but to find terrorists who want to slip in. More shit like that. Back fucking Israel 100% and be fucking loud about it in the international community. Let it be known the enemy of our friends is our enemy.
I literally let my own mother have it with the Trump hysteria a few weeks back. Told her to quit boring me with Trump "danger!" and laid down the law that I may only be approached with political talk by people who have an informed view on "the Palestinians!"
It's been crickets ever since. You know why? Because the Trump anxiety game gives bored people something to do. Long after it was topical, there is this class of people who still run around hysterical over "what Trump might do!"
JFC.
The mainstream Democratic party now views the constitution as an obstacle to be removed.
