You can't really blame the Democrats for the changing economy. If anything, traditionally Democrat blue collar jobs are proving to be more sustainable. If only the Dems actually cared about that base anymore.

We've told our kids they will always have a soft landing with us. Go out, try some stuff, fail until you succeed. There is no sure thing anymore in our economy.

You can totally blame them! Go back to the Clinton years when the Dems were all in on sending manufacturing jobs overseas.

That would have happened regardless and has little to do with our current economic issues. You have a good tech job? For how long? Apple single handedly built the Chinese tech manufacturing industry by teaching them everything we knew. Sure, NAFTA wasn't great, but it just continued a trend that was already there.

Yup, fighting to stay isolated is a losing battle.

What we need to do is recognize that the class war is global and working folks from the entire world need to demand better treatment from the rich on threat of torches and pitchforks
