>Republicans push class divide so to keep their voter base uneducated and poor.

Dems almost exclusively Lord over academia as something so valuable that the people that do jobs that keep the lights on, water running, and the floors steady are tired of hearing how much knowledge they lack. They say this in the same breath as they accuse republicans of keeping the sacred university knowledge from trades workers




That is contrarian to democrats giving more support historically unions and putting laws in place to raise the wealth and social support of lower income citizens. Think of Medicare in 1965, Social Security and the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, and the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Residential Homeownership Act of 1990


The most recent example you're citing is from 34 years ago...


"Historian gives ‘Union Joe’ a higher grade than any president since FDR" https://www.govexec.com/management/2024/05/bidens-labor-repo...

That's one article that seemed a good summary, but there are a half dozen different things that could be cited as ways Biden has supported unions.


What does that have to do with the original point that they don’t care about working class people if all of those monumental acts still exist and help working class people.

I can state the Infrastructure bill and the CHIPS act from the last 2 years giving more job opportunities.


All of these are terrible.


That’s not the point, the point was that democrats don’t care about blue collar or the working class and they obviously take actions to show that.
