Did the Dems walk away from the Working Class?

Workers make money
Democrats take workers' money

Yes, when I see the common notion about Trump's lack of "empathy for average people", it strikes me as ludicrous. The left appeals to average people by convincing them that the only way to be virtuous is to vote Democrat. The left's empathy is obsessively focused on the stereotypically oppressed. As of course it would have to be, if one was looking to maximize emotional manipulation of the masses.

Funny I watched most of the convention and I’ll bet this one had far more ‘regular people’ than any other in history.
The online format made that possible. How many ‘regular people’ can you put on a stage in front of 10k people?
My guess is when the writer of this piece saw the many many working class people he didn’t label that way, rather he labeled them based on ethnicity.

I saw some of the online format. Some of those folks weren't working class. They were just plain weird...

I'd hardly call the deviant freaks they had online "regular people". But they did show us how dangerous the democrats have become. These freaks relished their chance to say the pledge of allegiance and omit the "under God" part.
Sexually confused sissies and deviant perverts are not "regular people". These are mentally ill individuals, unhappy with who they are. In fact, democrats in general are an unhappy bunch of losers.

Careful Larry, Horace is going to call you a liar.
They didn’t leave out ‘under god’.

Yes they did. I saw 4 different ones recite the pledge, and when they came to the "under God" they made it an obvious point that it was being left out on purpose.

Get your facts straight, and stop trying to switch from one thing to the other. We were not talking about the convention speaker. You were talking about the "regular people" online. That would be the caucuses. I PERSONALLY watched 4 different sick fucks say the pledge as they began their caucus meeting, and every damned one of them made it a POINT to omit "under God".
Now I know you're not a stupid man, so stop acting like one.

jon, I bet you can't even find a falsehood in Trump's speeches as important and defaming of a political side as Biden's. If your attempt at whataboutism is a post on TNCR, well, thanks for the respect but I don't find them equally important or worthy of commentary.

You're right. In the broadcasted parts of the DNC convention, you know, the parts which the public saw, "under God" was included. In several committee meetings (not available to the public) it was omitted.
IOW: Say it if you want people to think what you mean, but behind closed doors....
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@Larry Look at the video in the USA Today fact check. It shows all the ‘regular folk’ saying the phrase.

USA Today is one of the last places I'd turn to for checking facts. I know what I saw. Perhaps you need to stop getting all your information from propaganda.

Exactly. The thing is, Jon knows this.

"During two of those meetings – the LGBTQ caucus meeting and the Muslim Delegates Assembly – when the pledge was recited, "under God" was omitted"
Why are gays and Muslims against saying "under God?"....

I’m sorry Horace I thought maybe you’d be consistent In classifying willful ignorance as lying. I should have known better.

in fairness, most of jon's non-TNCR friends would believe that Trump voters, behind closed doors, support Nazis and all those people. And I doubt jon goes out of his way to correct them. Not because he doesn't know better, but because he wouldn't want to be painted as someone who secretly likes Nazis.

Willful ignorance is lying, and if Larry or anybody else was being willfully ignorant of anything, they were lying. I'm not convinced he was.
