(255 posts)a substantial number of working class white folks are, as Dylan put it, "only a pawn in their game." I have to repeat, however, that the working class, like other oppressed groups (all of whom would benefit if our party were able to obtain and keep power, but, have continued to suffer because we have not), voted in a majority for Clinton. They may not have voted in as overwhelming a majority as other oppressed groups, but it was still a majority. Moreover they did so despite the limited sources of information you described.
Upper middle class white suburbanites, however, not only have multiple sources of information, they benefited tremendously under Obama and, unlike oppressed groups, yes even working class voters, they STILL voted in a majority for Trump. THEY are the group with NO EXCUSES.
