When a 'progressive' Senator who claims to be the progressive flag bearer says that about the Southern "white working class"
After seeing many white, working-class voters in low-income states like Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina voting against their own best interest, he continued that Southern Democratic senators trying to win in the conservative south felt abandoned by the Democratic party:
