Given the identification of the Republican Party with the
conservative wealthy, you can assume that the only hope for Donald Trump
getting elected president of the United States is a very small voter
turn out. What does a CLASS analysis of Americans registered to vote
tell you ? Does it make sense for blue collar voters to identify with
Wall Street " success " ?
The U.S. ruling class -with the help of both the Democratic and Republican parties-has been waging a one sided class war for more than three decades now. In pointing this truth out Ralph Nader is more " radical " - and more honest- than the " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders.
Working class white people and poor whites have been invisible to the U.S. news media for decades too. But LBJ's " war on poverty " did briefly benefit them.In general " political correctness " has a snobby, condescending , vilifying attitude toward the white working class.
Since they have " failed " despite EQUAL OPPORTUNITY in the land of the free and the home of the brave, they must be real losers ? If you are born white even in a poor family, you should not blame capitalism for your economic misery ?
Here Bernie Sanders makes more sense than Hillary Clinton: this economic order is very flawed indeed. " Evil " , it seems, has deep social roots.
