President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

A friendly reminder that this exists:

 

Hell of a good question. One worth asking to the entire political spectrum

 

His persistent historical ignorance of social, economic and status categories that have existed in exactly the same form, and in exactly the same relationship to political outcomes, for millennia.

I'd start there.

 

Shut it, Uncle Ben.

 

Putin last week. VDare this week. Tucker will be promoting the KKK next week.

“And Trump understands culture like no politician I’ve ever seen.”

 

The working class in America is shifting parties. That doesn't seem to be a millennia.

You trot out the "it was ever thus" argument all the time. It was not ever thus.

 

If you define "working class" as voters earning 50K a year or less, or even 70K, they voted Democratic in 2020 and again in 2022. If you define "working class" as white people, they haven't voted Democratic since 1964.

 

*Shifting*

And working class is not necessarily an earning level. TAs getting a doctorate at a university make less than $50,000. They’re 98% Democratic, I’d imagine. Are they working class? No.

 

So it is defined by your vibes?

 

No. But it seems strange to strictly define them by income levels.

I’d define broader than most.

If you want to argue working class voters aren’t shifting to the GOP go ahead.

I’ll ask you the same question I didn’t get a response from Regan on: What world do you want? What would be the preferred set of policies? What’s your priority? OK, not Trump. I get that. I don’t want Trump. But then what? Clintonism? Obama era? Romneyism? Liz Cheneyism? What?

 

I guess we know what they’ll talk about at CPAC tomorrow.
