For those who refer to the "Working Class" as though it were an alien form of life,

what do you do for a living?
Unless your money comes from income from investments, or a trust fund, or some kind of weird tax haven in the Bahamas, YOU are working class. If it does, and you think of working people as the "other", you may be a........ well, you get my point.
I am a mechanic, and have been for almost 40 years. I am working class. If you are a taxi driver, or an accountant, or if you have your own business, or make your money through any kind of physical or intellectual effort, YOU are working class.
I hate to sound like a dick here, but we have to stop putting artificial barriers between ourselves, they are the hardest to break down.

We must identify the common concerns that we all have as Democrats: clean air, good schools, safe highways; acknowledge them and then campaign on them. Democrats have always been the party of kitchen table issues, and we need to get back to those basics.

If a person says something smart, we say they are smart

If a person says something clever, we say they are clever

If someone speaks truth to power we say they are brave

Why then, when someone says something racist do people refuse to say "they are a racist"?

We can only learn about what is inside a person by what comes out of them.
