Nothing will ever overcome the mantra of Demos standing for “the poor, dispossessed, and the workingman.”
That's right, because nothing helps "the working man" like an unlimited influx of illegal immigrants, all ready to trash our cities and collect benefits for their innumerable children.
The white working class has mostly abandoned the Democratic party, because the Democrats have made it clear that they care more about illegal immigrants and criminals/welfare recipients in the inner city than they do about their former constituents. Meanwhile, the Left in America has mostly written off working class whites (i.e. the sort of people who "bitterly cling to their guns" etc), and have gone on searching for greener pastures among millions of soon to be naturalized illegals.
