We definitely have to figure out how to counter the both-siderism and elitist labels pinned by too much of the media, but we didn’t actually stop being the party for the working class. Only one party has been fighting for a higher minimum wage and improvement of worker safety, as well as things like health care and consumer protections that have a more significant impact on lower wage workers than they do on the republican donor class.

And in service of that goal, when a Dem pundit or elected official pundit poo-poos “class warfare” talk from Dems, they are in need of a trenchant retort. Sticking up for the working poor and the middle class is not class warfare. Neither is progressive income tax without loopholes that leave the ultra-wealthy paying a lower effective rate than the rest of us class warfare. Neither is it class warfare to decide to fight deficits with tax hikes rather than cuts to entitlements and the social safety net.
It might take a generation, but the old monsters eventually die off, and their descendants won’t be as warped. Think geological.
Not likely, it is still pretty gerrymandered and the ministers will be working overtime and people do what their minister says. even though it was illegal until this tax law decided it was the new law.
Have they undone the move on the voting polls so that people in cities and colleges can’t reach them easily or the voter ID law that punishes people for not being able to get their paperwork cheaply?
