Democrats desperately seek working-class voters but only offer shams

The last Democratic presidential candidate to appeal to the white working-class voter was Bill Clinton.He needed every one of them in his 1992 and 1996 victories — and still failed to win 50% of the popular vote.Since then, the Democratic brand has lost the white working-class vote in nearly every presidential election.Yet this demographic still makes up 40% of the electorate and registers and votes at much higher rates than non-white groups.Apparently, during the Biden-era influx of 10 million illegal aliens, Democrats really believed their own slogans about an “emerging Democratic majority” and how “demography is destiny.”They therefore confidently abandoned most efforts to recruit white working-class voters.And today, working-class voters are being further alienated by the top-down takeover of the Democratic Party by hard-core leftists, socialists and even the occasional communist.Their agendas are boutique and have little appeal outside blue-city and blue-state echo chambers.In the proverbial real world, voters have little patience with redefining what a woman is, biological men showering with teen girls, or males masquerading as female athletes stealing girls’ medals.Open borders, mass amnesties, defunding ICE and the police, and romanticizing illegal aliens are equally mystifying to the working class.These voters are not stupid, as left-wing elites assume.They know that the left, for all its bombast about oligarchs, millionaires and billionaires, is the party of precisely those groups — big-money interests from Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the legal profession, the media and Wall Street.So the Democrats’ unicorn hunt for their lost white working-class male voters is stymied not only by the off-putting democratic socialist agenda but also by the top-down, talk-down elitism of its emissaries.Whether it’s the prep-schooled prima donna Jasmine Crockett spouting off about “white men,” the lavish-living Zohran Mamdani threatening to go after “w...
