(15,645 posts)I agree about MI -- my sister lives there and believes that is true from up close.
So how do we address the gerrymandering unless we take State legislatures, Secretary's of State, etc.?
This isn't fake news -- it's old news. The decline of the middle class became conspicuous first under Reagan and has continued downward since. There are many current and former Democrats who have been concerned about this exactly since then. The party has payed lip service to this issue but that's about it. Obama's support of TPP and chained CPI are recent examples.
I disagree about Democrats who hold my view on this being "extremists" and resent that labeling. Economic justice and social justice are inextricably intertwined. Saying one is more important than the other is just wrong. They are equally important.
Far larger % of white men in what group? So-called Democratic extremists?
