Ignoring reality

The Trump phenomenon across the aisle has led some Democrats to reflect on the large part of the white working class that does not support them.

Who Lost the White Working Class?

Robert Reich blames first of all the racism of white workers, of course, but also Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and their Democratic allies for trade too free, going soft on Wall Street, and lack of support for unions.

Not a word about decades of Democratic, liberal, feminist, queer, anti-Christian, gun-grabber, racist, anti-capitalist, and other left venom spewed out onto the white working class and all it lives by and reveres, all from people who control and speak for the party that claims to be theirs.

People who constantly bellow their scorn for white people in general and white working people especially.

Of course not.

This is a move in the Bernie vs. Hillary game.

Speaking of ignoring reality, many Hillary supporters have already pointed out that efforts by Bernie as president to actually impose Medicare for All will surely fail and might well imperil Obamacare and, worse yet for me and mine, both Social Security and Medicare.

Right now, and though the Republicans are much worse, neither party can be trusted to prioritize the interests of the elderly - unless they are female or non-white - over competing attractions for government solicitude, just as although the Republicans are worse neither party can be trusted to look out for the working class.

In that regard, as an agent of destabilization, Bernie is perhaps worse than Hillary, though she trumpets rather than downplays her annoying bias for the interests of women over men.

And she is so much worse in so many other ways.
