Democratic party has turned its back on the working class

[Althea]

Which Party is attempting to limit Importation of Third World Labor?

Outsourcing to Asia the Labor component of Manufacturing may be impractical/implausible.
Stopping Automation from taking Human Jobs will not stop.
Stopping Importation of Third World Labor from entering the country is easy.

This seems like a No-Brainer. Trump seized on to it. (Even as his Clothing Line comes from China)

You continue to avoid the pertinent question.

Which is expected. You cannot back your generalizations with data.

Some of these elitist thinking imbeciles are a sight to behold. Meanwhile the Iron worker across town makes more money, has a better house, owns a vacation home, drives better cars, better 401, more vacation,...ect ect.

That sounds like the epitome of today's republican voter (Not saying that's good or bad of course). Opposite of WOKE.

[Jack]

Nonsense. Historically, Republicans looked the other way when immigrants came here to work the fields.

No Republican ever cites jobs when bashing immigrants. They, like trump, consider them rapists.

In '13, the Senate passed (68-32) a comprehensive immigration bill that Boehner refused to bring to a vote. Then Ryan refused to bring it to a vote. Both knew it was going to pass.

Why won't Republicans allow the issue of immigration to begin the process of being improved?

Because they need people like yourself to have the ability to spread falsehoods on the internet.

You think the bulk of big farm owners are Democrats?

Republicans are Capitalists. Democrats are Capitalists.

So (other than Bernie) who represents the Working Class?

NEITHER.

Trump, as a Snake Oil Salesman, at least has enough smarts to tell the Working Class what they want to hear.

Keep your eye on the ball. You keep swinging and missing.

Tell us exactly what Democrats are doing wrong, and then tell us exactly what Bernie has done for the working class.

Agree about trump, but you are peddling most of his lies.

'Perception is Reality'.

First World Workers are being clobbered with three obstacles.

AUTOMATION. There's no stopping this. More Human Jobs will be done by Machines.
OUTSOURCING. Cheap Labor means cheaper prices for Consumers, Cheap Labor means MORE profits for Shareholders.
IMPORTATION OF CHEAP LABOR. Ever watch the Movie 'Chinatown'? --->"If you can't bring the Water to L.A., ... bring L.A. to the Water".

I see why some here don't care much for you. I never noticed this level of nonsense from you.

What has Bernie Sanders done for the working class?

My position is winning the Working Class as a Voting Bloc. In my view, it is being overlooked. Republicans (never a friend to the Working Class) has seen this and made a political calculation.
Their Bumper Sticker slogan of 'Build the Wall' was effective in putting Trump in Office.
Now, even though Trump had a Republican Congress the first 2 years, the 'Wall' was never a great issue, 'Tax Cuts for the Wealthy' was.
Then, when Democrats took the Congress, the 'Wall' became an issue again: "We want to build the Wall ... but the Democrats won't let us".

There are a number of reasons I have for supporting 'No Immigration'. One is the Political consideration of being labeled 'Open Borders'. Another great 'Bumper Sticker' slogan that Republicans seem good at developing.

What has Bernie Sanders done for the working class?

Althea! (PS. I'm not here to make friends)

Bernie supports a $15 Minimum wage.
Bernie supports a national health care system.

Do you think the Working Class threw their support towards Trump?
Why?

Awesome. What has Bernie done for the working class?

[Jack]

Awesome. What has Bernie done for the working class?

Since he is a lone voice, he has little support.

But ... if there were 50 more like Bernie ...

"Rep. Lee and Sen. Sanders Introduce Tax on Wall Street Speculation Act to Curb Greed
Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced the Tax on Wall Street Speculation Act along with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and ten House Democrats.
The legislation imposes a tax of a fraction of a percent on the trades of stocks, bonds, and derivatives. This tax on Wall Street speculation, also known as a financial transaction tax, is estimated to generate up to $2.4 trillion in public revenue from wealthy investors over 10 years. An added benefit of the proposed tax is deterring the high-frequency trading that increases the instability of the financial sector and produces no economic value. "

What has he done?


Accomplished?

[Althea]

My understanding is that the Proposal was fractions of a penny. Something the average Retail Investor would never notice. The High Speed Traders would carry the brunt of the tax.

As they should

[Jack]

So you lied. Bernie has done nothing for the working class?

Althea. Relax. Nothing to get worked up about here. We're on a Politics Forum. Just shooting the shit here.
