I’m guessing he comes from a long line of pinkos. Grandpa worked for the WPA. Great Grandpa a Wobbly.

Not saying it’s so. Just a guess.

It is a women..

By Sarah Smarsh
Ms. Smarsh is the author of the forthcoming “Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth.”

She might be trying to say that the working democrats..have figured out that the democrat party has done nothing for them..

Lets face it the GOP has done a lot of damage to the working class..

Looks like a liberal democrat?

I read a bit of this thoroughly nauseating article and agree with your take:

Yes, my father is angry at someone...His anger is directed at bosses who exploit labor and governments that punish the working poor — two sides of a capitalist democracy that bleeds people like him dry. “Corporations,” Dad said. “That’s it. That’s the point of the sword that’s killing us.”

Yep, deal old Dad doesn't like corporations that "exploit" labor. He really needs to go live in Venezuela and enjoy the fruits of a socialist paradise that doesn't exploit labor.

Dad is even dumber about fundamental economics than that idiot Ocasio-Cortez. I am always amazed at people who don't take charge of their lives and figure out how to better themselves. If you are not satisfied with your lot in life, go learn a new skill or trade or maybe move to a more prosperous area. Get some more education. Stop whining and control your own destiny. Unfortunately we have the World Champion Whiner Clinton cheerleading all sorts of whiners like this.

I think Sarah is a she, not a he. But in this world today, I may be wrong.
