Democratic party has turned its back on the working class

'Us vs. Them'. Half of America now invests in the Stock Market. The Investing Class has done very, very, well over the last year (last 12 years really).
The Working Class ... they are fighting with: AUTOMATION, OUTSOURCING JOBS TO ASIA, IMPORTATION OF CHEAP LABOR.

(try to remember, the Working Class isn't just composed of 'White People')

Exactly. They generally have not been part of the picture for quite a while.

:) Whites are part of the picture. The Poor Working Class is well represented with all Ethnic Groups. This seems to be lost on the Wokesters who continue to rant about the Importation of Cheap Labor as 'racist'.

Good insight Jack.

That is the current 'Theme' of many on the Left that view opposition to immigration as a 'racist issue', rather than an 'economic issue'.
It signals that the Left is more an 'Elitist Club' rather than the 'Workers Club'.

OIC. You could have worded your original statement on the subject better, IMO.

The Left has Elitists that think in terms of their own well being. Many are 'Chair Jockeys' that sit in a chair all day, have access to a Lunch Room with Refrigerator, Microwave, and a Coffee Machine. Their environment is Air Conditioned, well lit, and is fully carpeted. Their concept of 'working' is shuffling papers. Actual physical labor, in the elements of the season, with 'death' figured into the cost of the Job, doesn't enter into their brain thought waves. Everything around them that they can touch and see, was put there ... by Magic.

No. My claim is that the Capitalists (both Dem and Rep) are flooding the Country with Third World Labor to keep Wages Low.
Like the Plantation Owner that pits the White Sharecropper against the Black Sharecropper.
In this case, pitting the American Working Class against a Third World Working Class.

yes. a race to the bottom.

I always knew the real jack would come out.

For some reason, the American Working Class (once staunch Democrats), are Voting Republican.
If I was a Democrat Strategist, I would try to figure that out. You know, if I thought the American Working Class was an important Voting Bloc, and wanted to Win Elections.

Not WOKE. Working people are apparently not oppressed , therefore rayciss. That's why they vote republican.
Well , the dims have their voting bloc and that's the oppressed, the homeless, violent criminals, felons and hollywierd.

Every corporation has increased profits by opting for cheap overseas labor, as well as lax enviro laws. What started as a response to unions getting greedy, has festered into the status quo for business. Offshoring has been very profitable.

We now see record profits, record share prices, record sums of cash held by corporations, and a record divide between CEO pay and labor pay.

The argument in this thread is about Democrats not supporting the working class. Which party, or which states have rammed through 'right to work' laws?

Which party is actively busting unions?

Which party rammed through a tax giveaway to corporations that do nothing to increase jobs, increase pay, or lower prices?

Which party represents the Heartland, where the cheap labor you reference above is most prevalent?

And how many of them are there?

How many work 50 weeks/year?
Click to expand...

A ton. WAY more than you would thing. And most do work 50 weeks a year with all the overtime they can get. Right now a run of the mill brick layer just working at a company and not for himself is making anywhere from 35 to 40 bucks an hour with a bennies package that would choke a horse. Thats around 75 grand a year not counting all the over time they can get ranging anywhere from time and a half to double time and up to triple time.

Alot of guys in the trades dont take the overtime though because their phones ring off the hooks from everybody and his brother wanted them to do side jobs where they do light years better than overtime and the customer pays in benji's.

Nonsense. Historically, Republicans looked the other way when immigrants came here to work the fields.

No Republican ever cites jobs when bashing immigrants. They, like trump, consider them rapists.

In '13, the Senate passed (68-32) a comprehensive immigration bill that Boehner refused to bring to a vote. Then Ryan refused to bring it to a vote. Both knew it was going to pass.

Why won't Republicans allow the issue of immigration to begin the process of being improved?

Because they need people like yourself to have the ability to spread falsehoods on the internet.

You think the bulk of big farm owners are Democrats? You think it was only Democrats who had food rotting in the fields when trump shut the borders to everyone?


His mere mention of rapists and murderers during the campaign had Republicans fearing for their political lives.

The death of meaningful U.S. immigration reform, done in by Washington partisanship and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s incendiary comments on foreigners, is leaving crops withering in the field and the farm lobby with nowhere to turn as a labor shortage intensifies.

Carlos Castaneda watched one-quarter of his Napa cabbages rot in three California fields this spring as 37 immigrant laborers scheduled to arrive March 13 under a farmworker visa program were delayed by bureaucratic paperwork. He said he wants changes to an immigration system that causes his crops to rot unharvested. But he has little hope that will happen in this political climate.


“The rhetoric that’s getting preached is pushing xenophobia,” said Castaneda, 39, whose parents are Mexican immigrants. “You can’t call an immigrant a murderer. You can’t paint them with that brush."


About a quarter of the U.S. farm workforce, more than 300,000 people, don’t have valid immigration papers, according to a 2009 survey by the Pew Hispanic Center. Other studies suggest the number may be more than 1 million. Proportions of undocumented workers tend to be higher in the hand-harvested fruit, vegetable and horticulture sectors, as well as large dairy farms.

The last major push for reform, a 2013 agreement that agriculture groups worked out with senators Dianne Feinstein of California and Michael Bennet of Colorado, both Democrats, along with Republicans Marco Rubio of Florida and Orrin Hatch of Utah, allowed up to 337,000 farmworker visas over three years. The current H-2A visa program for agriculture laborers last year granted 139,832 temporary stays, according to Labor Department data.

The rise of Trump, who felled Rubio and other reform-minded rivals to become the likely Republican nominee, has squelched any push toward reviving guest-worker proposals and put farmworker advocates on the defensive, said Craig Regelbrugge, co-chairman of the Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform. Trump has vowed to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico and has questioned migrant contributions to the economy.

“The atmosphere is so roiled with the presidential election,” Regelbrugge said. “The angst, the anger, the whatever that is so resonant in a fairly broad swath of the electorate, it makes House members, especially Republicans, fear they’ll be hurt in a primary if they work for reform.”
