the working class ARE progressives, if you frame the issues to them correctly. All the polls show that progressive positions are HUGELY popular in the country, even with the working class.

All this does is try to create a divide where there isn't one.

What is "talking to working class families", if not about progressive economics (and health care, and social safety programs, etc.)

Is he talking about racism? what the hell?
