Working Class Disconnect: The Democratic Party's Dilemma
This chapter explores the widening gap between the modern Democratic Party and the working class, critiquing the party's neglect of their concerns in favor of elite interests. It contrasts the Democratic Party's approach to populism with Donald Trump's successful outreach to working-class voters and highlights the implications of immigration policies on American labor. The chapter also reflects on post-2008 financial crisis dynamics, questioning the effectiveness of political leaders like Bernie Sanders in advocating for meaningful change amidst a system perceived as rigged against the average citizen.
