I’m sick of libs weird belief that the entire “working class” are all white rascists men in hard hats that carry their lunch in a pail and vote Trump. Simultaneously they also think the republican base of rich petty bourgeois is “wirking class” because they’re white, drive pickup trucks and listen to country music.
Basically anyone but the actual working class is what dems imagine they are
I’m not sure that this is completely correct. I agree that this is a repudiation of the Biden Admin and that inflation is probably the largest factor in the unfavorables. But Harris underperformed with Dem voters. They did not turn people out who voted in 2020. I don’t believe that the genocide and Biden’s foreign policy mote broadly had nothing to do with that.
The electorate doesnt have a sophisticated handle on foreign policy, but they kind of care when something like war with Iran is on the table. USians may not vote based on foreign policy, but they also have not voted for anything that seems like a return to Bush area style wars for 20 years. They rejected it in 08, and they rejected it 2016 with Clinton being tied to that
