    They could try actually doing one single goddamn thing to help the working class, that might do the trick. But no probably need to invest in more media campaigns and wishy-washy ambiguous stances on esoteric things that literally no normal human can possibly comprehend.

    While the analysis shows working-class Americans are “more conservative” than wealthier Americans on sociocultural issues—a category defined as including abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigration—they have in some cases become more progressive on such issues in recent years, undercutting simplistic narratives of an increasingly conservative U.S. working class.

    “Across all categories, the working class has not exhibited any substantial movement toward conservatism,” the report states.

    All this energy being put into convincing Democrats that they need to capture the working class would be better spent on an actual working class political party. I guess that’s Jacobian for you though.

      I know its not much, but I and a totally different country, but this is why I’m happy to see the Corbyn-Sultana party get going in the UK.

      Obviously it needs a permanent name. Britain Unbowed would be pretty kickass and would mirror Melenchon’s movement in France.
