Hillary holds her own with the 99%
Hillary Clinton is a tool of Wall Street, the lickspittle of the 1%.
That, or something like it, is what’s coming from the most ardent supporters of her opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination. Bernie Sanders, they say, is a man of the people, an economic populist who can save us all from the prevailing neoliberal order that has propped up the rich and failed the rest.
But that could be the opposite of the truth. According to exit polling, a majority of working-class voters in battleground states prefer Clinton. Sanders' call for revolution, moreover, appears most appealing to those with the power and resources to withstand radical change — those with college degrees and good jobs.
These are people who don't need revolution to get on in life. To working-class Americans, however, a revolution might be a luxury they can't afford.
