I disagree.

There are plenty of motivated Americans who can no longer find the kinds of jobs they used to hold.

They can find work, sure. But they take a big step down, and that is not improving one bit.

We are exporting the very jobs which made America great, to China and elsewhere.

Nobody is doing one single thing about this.

Nobody.

This assumes the left actually cares about the things it purports to care about. The modern American left is an unholy alliance between charlatans who simply want to expand the power of the state while keeping control of its levers of power and people who, while often good-hearted, are absolutely clueless about economics.

Actually, clueless about economics includes some of the charlatans as well, going back at least as far as Marx who failed to understand that an economy is a dynamical system and promulgated an absurd theory of value.

The article headline, and much of the article itself, is wrong. There is absolutely nothing democratic about the Democrat party.

Unemployment compensation, disability, and a multitude of welfare programs...

And countless, onerous regulations, with ever increasing environmental requirements/taxes. Other nitpicking laws make it virtually impossible to even start a business.

Cringing Negativism Network, WHAT PART OF THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

I just relish the thought of some "progressive" lecturing your average hourly laborer all about their "white privilege".

The Democrats lost the "hard hats" back in the 1970s, their effete elitism can do that for them again.

Democrats aren’t anti anything but pro revolution and whatever furthers the revolution is what they do.

(They would make Mr. Lenin, Mr. Goebbles, Mr. Pol Pot, among others, very, very proud indeed.)

IMHO
