I love this article! One of the things about the young white "progressives" that pisses me off the most is how they entitle themselves to be the spokespeople for huge blocks of people, without ever asking the people in those blocks what they think or want, let alone getting authorization to represent them. This obnoxious arrogant behavior is not about the "marginalized, disadvantaged" people at all. It is a moralizing behavior that is intended to increase the power of the white "progressives" over other white people. White, "progressive," "very online," activists have acquired a ridiculous level of control over the rest of the U.S. and Western European population in exactly this way.

The Democratic Party no longer seems to care about working class voters, because they do not. Would lawyers, lobbyists, actors, pro athletes, journalists, and their ilk, cheer Dems, if they, purposefully, imported 10 million workers, each with their same skills, ready to accept half wages, and no perks, without complaint?

If every Dem mover and shaker, had to give up their gated communities, personal security, and shop in the same stores as working class America, how long would they cheer, defunding the police, bail reform, liberal DAs and Judges?

If school choice disappeared for the wealthy, how long would Dems tolerate their own progeny in public schools, that fail more kids, then they educate?

Yesterday, Blue Governors and Mayors, sprinted for podiums to inform the entire US, Trump will have to pry, convicted, illegal, migrant criminals, from their cold dead hands. There was no talk of assisting ICE, with the removal of violent criminals, while protecting, otherwise law abiding undocumented maids, 20 years, in the US. Only a blanket refusal to help deportation in any way, and impede ICE removals, when possible. All, on the same day Laken Riley's murderer was quickly convicted.

Dems do not need better messaging. The need a reformation. Reformations require a Martin Luther, perpetually, screaming about Dem indulgences, and their actual effect, on working class voters.

The next Dem to take the WH, absent a major Rep fail, will visit poor Hispanic residents, in a Denver apartment complex, now under Venezuelan gang control, or working class whites, in a Blue Collar rental in Springfield, Ohio, and then explain to America, what dwelling in such places, entails. They will walk to urban public elementary schools, stepping over the same homeless and addicts, working class 3rd graders, endure daily. They will attend a State Championship girls track meet , where a few trans athletes win half the events. Then they will truthfully, explain why their own kids are in private schools, despite residing in million dollar neighborhoods.

The successful Dem candidate, will ask Black urban residents, how inflation effected their living standards and how mass migration, changed their neighborhoods. They will speak to unemployed Blue Collar workers, whose jobs disappeared with Dem DC Climate regs. They will sit with the grieving parents of young people, who took one wrong pill, one time, and never awoke. They will show up at the funerals of those killed, by criminals repeatedly allowed to walk, after former crimes.

Then, and only then, will voters consider their return to power.
